M-1 woodward from oakridge street to 8 mile road

The Michigan Department of Transportation received a $3.3 million Formula Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on July 12, 2022. The funding supports the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) and will deliver two-way separated bike lanes on Woodward Avenue from Oakridge Street to 8 Mile Road in the cities of Ferndale and Pleasant Ridge, Michigan. Project work will include pavement markings, wayfinding signage, intersection treatments and crosswalk improvements to ensure bicyclist safety and connectivity. A shared-use pathway extension is also planned where separated bike lanes cannot be constructed. The award is paired with an MDOT construction project to improve bicyclist and pedestrian access along this corridor.
