M-1 W woodward avenue & main street from sylvan to I-696 service drive

The Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration awarded a $554,631 Formula Grant under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on March 30, 2022 to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

The funding will support installation of a two-way separated bike lane on the east side of Woodward Avenue in Pleasant Ridge, Michigan, as well as upgraded sidewalks and crosswalks along Woodward Avenue from Sylvan Street to Main Street and along Main Street from Woodward Avenue to the I-696 service drive. The project will be coordinated with a non-participating stormwater retention project that includes construction of bioswales along the proposed cycle track route.

As a sub-award under the grant, the City of Pleasant Ridge will directly receive funding and oversee installation of the bike lane, sidewalks, and crosswalks within its jurisdiction. The infrastructure improvements aim to provide safer transportation options for bicyclists and pedestrians in the area.
