These changes have resulted in a loss of 80% of the forest cover and 75% of the wetlands. Source: Crossing Place, 2005. Based on zoning ordinances for the various watershed communities, the projected future land use indicates that residential, industrial, and commercial land uses will expand. To cover most of the watershed only the northern and western areas are projected to be dominated by agricultural use (except for one corridor that includes the City of Dewitt). Figure 3-5 shows the anticipated future land use. Urbanized Land Use The major urbanized areas of the watershed are the Cities of Lansing, East Lansing, and Dewitt; and Meridian, Bath, Dewitt, and Lansing Townships. The predominant land use type within these communities is single-family residential. Several major thoroughfares transect the watershed, including Interstate 69 (I-69) and US-127. These highways (including I-96, which is located a couple of miles south of the watershed) are critical for commerce within the state. They also substantially influence future development by opening up more rural townships and cities to convenient intra- and interstate travel, particularly at access and exit ramps. Figure 2-5 illustrates that urbanization will increase substantially in Bath, Watertown, and Woodhull Townships. The population predictions presented in Table 3-2 support the projected land use growth observed in Figure 2-5, with the exception of Victor Township which is expected to grow 23% every decade (based on 2000 population data). If the estimated future land uses are correct, the watershed will see a 53% increase in urbanized lands.
