BACKGROUND:

On September 23, 2020, the Pittsfield Township Board of Trustees adopted Resolution #20-39, a resolution of support to apply for grant funding to install a non-motorized pathway and green infrastructure on State Road between Airport Boulevard and Avis Drive, with a pedestrian crossing at Avis Drive and green infrastructure installations to the existing ditches along State Road. The grant application was submitted in October 2020 and in March 2021 the Township was awarded $1,017,625 in Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding from the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), for fiscal year 2023.

 

The project must be implemented in coordination with the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) as the Act 51 Agency through the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Local Agency Program (LAP).
