Top issues during term (11)(Roads)
Cork Street safety improvements
The grant contract is $47,367, and the separate Howard Street road conversion is budgeted at $1.6 million in the CIP.
Pedestrian safety improvements via MDOT contract
Not stated in the agenda materials.
Winchell and Howard sidewalk tree removals
Covered under the $47,367 grant contract with federal Safe Routes to School funding.
Shuttle and micromobility options downtown
Transit millage and Metro services
The proposed millage is 0.36 mills for seven years, up from the prior 0.324 mills.
Two-way conversion of Kalamazoo Avenue
About $19.6 million total, but roughly $8 million is federal grant money — so local cost is heavily offset.
Howard Hill road diet concern
Howard Street pedestrian crossing at Merrill/Howard
A pedestrian signal was included in the city's Safe Routes to School plans and last fall's funding-acceptance motion, but current costs weren't stated.
Peak Street Play Street Closure
Downtown rail yard relocation planning
$3.225 million accepted now for planning; the real fix is estimated at $50-100 million or more, requiring federal, state and railroad partners.
Portage Street 4-to-3 lane conversion (road diet)
Total cost $1,039,402, but $750,000 is federal grant money — the city pays about $289,402.
