Riverview council backs Grange Road and Homeister Drive bridge replacement projects, to pursue MDOT LAP funding
Summary
The council unanimously among members present adopted a resolution supporting the Grange Road and Homeister Drive bridge replacements and authorized submission of applications to the Michigan Department of Transportation for Local Agency Program funding.
The Riverview City Council voted March 16 to adopt a resolution supporting replacement projects for the Grange Road Bridge and the Homeister Drive Bridge and to submit applications to the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) seeking Local Agency Program (LAP) funding.
Councilman Williams moved the resolution and Councilman Webb seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote of five yes and two excused (Councilwoman Clark and Councilmember O'Neil).
The resolution, as stated on the agenda, directs staff to prepare and submit applications to MDOT for LAP funding for the two bridge projects. The council did not record additional conditions or funding commitments in the meeting discussion; next steps are application preparation and submission by city staff to MDOT.
By adopting the resolution the council signaled municipal support necessary for pursuit of MDOT funding but did not finalize MDOT approval or project contracts; state review and MDOT award decisions remain separate steps outside the city’s control.
