Summary
Greenville City Council voted 6–1 to support a Michigan Department of Transportation proposal to reduce lanes on N. Lafayette (M-91) to one through lane each direction with a center turn lane between the Lafayette Street bridge and Peck Road; Councilperson Barrus voted no.
Greenville — The Greenville City Council on Feb. 17 approved Resolution No. 26-04 endorsing a lane reconfiguration proposed by the Michigan Department of Transportation for N. Lafayette (M-91).
Councilperson Johnson introduced the resolution asking the council to support MDOT’s recommendation to reduce travel lanes to one through lane in each direction with a center turn lane from the Lafayette Street bridge to Peck Road (the corridor studied by MDOT). Councilperson McBride seconded the motion. The resolution passed 6–1, with Councilperson Barrus recorded as the sole dissenting vote.
The resolution notes that MDOT has full ownership and control over N. Lafayette (M-91) within Greenville and that the department had studied the corridor from Montcalm Street to the north city limit for efficiency improvements. The council’s action is a statement of support; actual changes to lane configuration are controlled and implemented by MDOT.
Council members did not record further amendments or conditions in the meeting minutes; the transcript records the motion, second and the vote tally. The council’s recorded support provides municipal concurrence for MDOT to proceed with its recommended lane configuration for the identified segment.
