Township closer to $150,000 project
Mar. 3, 2009 · 12:03 a.m.
Superior Township will likely see some major improvements to its non-motorized trail system in the near future.
The township trustees accepted a $60,000 pledge Monday evening from the Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission to aid in the cost of constructing a portion of a non-motorized trail between Geddes Rd. and MacArthur Boulevard on Harris Rd.
The estimated cost of the entire project is expected to cost $150,000. The township has already obtained $90,000 toward the project in Community Development Block Grants.
Township Supervisor William McFarlane said it appears the township could also receive an additional $400,000 through federal stimulus money to complete a non-motorized trail from Prospect to Gotfredson Road.
“So, we’ll have about $700,000 to put in a non-motorized trails that should go all the way to Gotfredson,” McFarlane said.
The township has committed their own funds for preparation of construction drawings and bidding documents. The Township has also pledged to assume responsibility for construction administration according to the WCPRC.
