The Michigan Department of Transportation was awarded an $844,000 Project Grant from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration's Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) on September 19, 2022. The grant will fund rehabilitation of Whitefish Point Road including existing parking footprint modification and safety improvements such as road surface upgrades, signage, asphalt markings, designated handicap parking areas, pedestrian crosswalks, and walkways. It will also significantly improve safety on an existing paved bike path running 1,200 feet south of the north end of Whitefish Point Road to the road's northern terminus. The FLAP aims to enhance transportation access to federal lands by supplementing state and local funding for public roads, transit systems, and other transportation facilities adjacent to or located within federal lands. This award supports infrastructure upgrades that will enhance safety and accessibility for all users of transportation corridors near Whitefish Point in Michigan.
