Summary
In a July 2005 letter, Jack Kelly supported exploring a second Beaver Island ferry but argued that the Corradino Group’s projections needed more dynamic analysis. He pointed to demographics, second-home and retirement markets, tourism, ferry use, building permits, water access, and resource saturation as factors that should inform transportation planning.
Evidence limits
This is a published public comment, not a new ferry decision or an independent validation of the study’s forecasts.
