The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Michigan Department of Transportation $1,115,595.51 on April 6, 2026, under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (CFDA 20.287) to fund Safe Routes to School pedestrian improvements in Negaunee, Michigan.

The project delivers 0.9 miles of new sidewalk and pedestrian crossing and intersection improvements across multiple city streets. Work includes installation of five-foot sidewalks on the south side of Maas Street from Owaissa Street to Baldwin Avenue; the north side of Birch Street from Hungerford Avenue to Baldwin Avenue; the west side of Baldwin Avenue from Maas Street to Birch Street; both sides of Arch Street from North Teal Lake Avenue to Mitchell Avenue; and the west side of Brown Avenue from the alley north of East Clark Street around to Mitchell Avenue. A six-foot sidewalk will be installed on the west side of Division Street from Iron Ore Heritage Trail to Copper Street. All new sidewalk segments include crosswalks and ramps with detectable warning surfaces at intersections. The project also converts one intersection to a four-way stop with signage and extends a sidewalk on the north side of Arch Street onto school property to the school entrance.

Performance is scheduled to be completed by October 30, 2032, with work occurring at various locations throughout the City of Negaunee.
