Kingsford to contribute up to $30,000 toward county/MDOT non-motorized path into city
Summary
City Manager Michael Stelmaszek told council that Kingsford will contribute a not-to-exceed $30,000 toward MDOT/county project 225738 to connect Pine Mountain Road into Kingsford and link to Iron Mountain’s City Park; work is expected this spring for the Kingsford portion.
City leaders heard details Jan. 5 about a county and Michigan Department of Transportation non-motorized path project (Project 225738) that will extend from Pine Mountain Road into Kingsford to Joseph Street and tie into the city's path system and access to Iron Mountain’s City Park.
City Manager Michael Stelmaszek said the project is advancing and that Kingsford would contribute a not-to-exceed amount of $30,000 toward the city’s portion. He said officials expect the work to occur in the spring and that the connection will allow residents to reach Iron Mountain's City Park via the non-motorized path. The manager did not provide a detailed funding schedule or exact construction dates for the Kingsford work beyond the spring time frame mentioned in the report.
Council consensus supported the manager's request to have the Citizens Advisory Committee evaluate adjacent property uses and to continue coordination with county and MDOT on engineering and timing. The council did not approve a separate funding ordinance at the Jan. 5 meeting; the $30,000 figure was presented as a not-to-exceed contribution.
