City moves forward with TAP application for Shadyside–South Main shared-use path

City staff and AEW consultants presented a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant application to build a shared-use path connecting Shadyside Park to South Main Street at Robertson. Mr. Shipman said the application would go to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) to fund infrastructure including ADA curb ramps, pedestrian crossings, signage, pavement markings and a continuous 10-foot path between the park and Robertson. "The city is preparing an application for transportation alternatives program funding through the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Southeast Michigan Councils of Governments for a proposed bike path connection between Shadyside Park and South Main Street at the Robertson Street intersection," staff said during the presentation.
