Developer of proposed Harsens Island Crossing toll-bridge purchasing land?

HarsensIslandBridge.info has published a portion of an email that it received from a Harsens Island property owner with a suggestion that the Detroit International Bridge Company, developer of the proposed Harsens Island Crossing (private toll-bridge), isn't detered by recent application denials from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

e-mail ...
"I was called by a realtor today asking if I want to sell my property on North Channel. I am wondering if the bridge company is trying to buy more property on the North Channel to be able to build the bridge without building on other people's property. I understand that that was one of the reasons that the DEQ wouldn't give them a permit. From what I heard at the hearing the two pieces of property that they own on the two sides of the river are not in line with each other and that is a big problem. I'm not going to sell to them, no matter what they offer me. I couln't live with myself if I had anything to do with helping the bridge company ruin the peace and quite on Harsens Island."

HarsensIslandBridge.info believes "that this is the beginning of the Detroit International Bridge Company's effort to alleviate the riparian rights violations from their denied application to the MDEQ. If they can purchase properties directly across the North Channel from each other they can overcome their riparian rights problems. To get MDEQ approval they would still have to find solutions for other issues such as the lake sturgeon nursery area and possible wetlands disruption which were stated by the MDEQ as reasons for their denial."
