Citywide various locations - city of pontiac

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) received a Formula Grant award of $593,702.22 from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), effective July 29, 2025. This award funds traffic safety and pedestrian accessibility improvements across multiple citywide locations in Pontiac, Michigan, including signal modernizations, pedestrian countdown signals, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps, High-intensity Activated crosswalK (HAWK) signals, and associated signing and pavement markings at key intersections including Arlene Avenue at Madison Avenue, Arlene Avenue at Tennyson Avenue, and University Drive between Melrose Drive and Jordan Road.

The project represents a comprehensive intersection modernization initiative designed to enhance vehicular traffic flow and pedestrian safety through updated signal control systems and improved accessibility. These improvements align with the Highway Planning and Construction program's objectives to support highway and transportation infrastructure preservation and safety enhancements at the state and local level. MDOT, as the primary recipient of federal transportation infrastructure funding in Michigan, administers this formula-allocated award through its established project selection and execution processes in coordination with local transportation authorities.
