Benches, bike racks, trash bins to be installed
Oct. 22, 2008 · 3:57 p.m.
West Cross Street will get a major facelift with sleek new benches, garbage cans and bike racks ordered by the Depot Town DDA after its last regular meeting Oct. 22.
The beatification effort is part of the DDA’s “West Cross Organization.” The group is partnering with Eastern Michigan University to create a cohesive look with several beautification efforts the university is doing in the area as well.
Several DTDDA board members and staff met with John Donegan, associate vice president of facilities at EMU, to choose the new street furniture to be placed in selective areas along West Cross. After reviewing the map from the group walk through of the district in July, the group decided to install 8 bike racks, 4 benches and 10 garbage cans.
“This will supplement the existing garbage cans along West Cross and concentrate our efforts in the busiest commercial areas of the district,” DTDDA Director Brian Vosburg said in an update to the board.
The total cost, without shipping, will be $15,416, which the DTDDA plans to pull from its reserve fund.
Vosburg also reported, Donegan volunteered the services of the EMU Physical Plant office to install the street furniture at no cost to the DTDDA. The installations will occur over the winter during Plant Office down time. John also stated that EMU would be renovating the park in front of Pease Auditorium and installing the same garbage cans, bench styles and bike racks as along West Cross St.
