Livingston County board endorses Route 66 multi-use path in proclamation
Summary
The board approved Resolution #2026-02-13, a proclamation expressing county support for the creation and implementation of a multi-use Route 66 path; the resolution recognizes PTHS students’ contributions and passed unanimously on roll call.
The Livingston County Board voted unanimously Feb. 11 to adopt a proclamation supporting the creation and implementation of a Route 66 multi-use path. County Board member Paul A. Ritter read the proclamation aloud and praised Pontiac Township High School students for their dedication and involvement with the initiative. Gerald L. Earing moved approval and Gina Manker seconded; the resolution passed on a roll call vote with all present members recorded as voting aye.
The minutes state the proclamation’s purpose is to show the county’s support for the project; it does not create county funding obligations or specify next steps. The board’s action is a formal expression of support that can be cited by project proponents in future outreach or grant applications.
Why it matters: A county-level proclamation signals political support for local trail and active-transportation planning and can strengthen applications for outside funding, but the minutes do not report any committed county funding or changes to land-use approvals.
