On May 16, 2022, the City Commission adopted a resolution approving a letter of understanding between the City of Traverse City and MDOT regarding the reconstruction of US-31 from Division Street to Garfield Avenue. Project Background and City Correspondence Similarly, we expect to work with them on this project and come to an agreement that will satisfy both parties. MDOT has been a critical partner over the years on aging infrastructure improvements throughout the City. It is the City's third party attorney’s opinion that the agreement is valid. The City of Traverse acquired outside counsel to provide a legal opinion on whether a 1947 agreement between the City and MDOT, stating that both parties shall agree to changes involved in the Grandview Parkway, was still valid, and if the City has an obligation to approve the design of the project before the Grandview Parkway reconstruction can be executed. MDOT is working with the City to develop a plan to redirect and maintain traffic during work, and schedule that work to minimize disruption to the National Cherry Festival.Ĭity of Traverse City Third Party Attorney Legal Opinion on 1947 Agreement MDOT is planning to add a pedestrian crossing at Peninsula Drive with an island refuge and wider sidewalks add a pedestrian crossing and improve geometry at Front Street improve the pedestrian crossing at Division Street and partner with TART and the city to accommodate extending the trail to the east (Sunset Park, Hagerty Center and Senior Center) and widen where possible.
Additionally, the project will improve safety at several intersections for all users of the highway, helping to make crossings more convenient and comfortable for pedestrians and bicyclists. This project will include operational improvements at the intersections of Division Street, Hall Street, Park Street, Front Street, and Peninsula Drive drainage improvements Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) review and upgrades repairs to the Murchie Bridge over the Boardman River and new signs and pavement markings. In addition to complete removal and replacement of the existing pavement in this corridor, MDOT is working with the city to coordinate replacement of underground utilities during work. However, due to significant impact on the City and community interest, updates as received, will be placed on this project page. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is planning to rebuild a section of US-31/M-72/M-37 (Grandview Parkway) in Traverse City from South Garfield Avenue to Division Street in 2023.The Grandview Parkway Reconstruction project is NOT a City project due to the Grandview Parkway trunkline being owned by MDOT.
