City accepts $300,000 Michigan DNR grant for bike park; alliance to cover construction and upkeep
The Rapid Recap host said the fiscal committee accepted a $300,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to support improvements at the city’s bike park. The host said the grant is matched in kind by the city, bringing the project's cost to just over $600,000.

The recap listed planned improvements as a new shelter and patio area, new bike-trail features and other amenities aligned with the parks and recreation strategic master plan. The host said several community organizations support the work.

The host also said the community development committee approved an agreement with the West Michigan Mountain Biking Alliance. Under that agreement, the alliance will cover all costs for city park bike facility construction and maintenance for at least the next three years; the recap presented that arrangement as ensuring facilities remain "awesome and up to date." The broadcast did not provide contract terms, a start date for maintenance responsibilities or a vote tally for the agreement.

The recap did not break down how the city’s in-kind match will be provided (labor, materials, cash equivalency) or the timeline for construction beyond a general statement that the project is planned.
