The City of Lansing has applied for a Transportation Enhancement Activity (TEA) grant to convert the four lane boulevard of Moores River Drive to two lanes and a pathway. Their application included a provision for the pathway to extend north into Lansing Township. This project will provide non-motorized pathway in Lansing Township and the City of Lansing, connecting Frances Park to Grand River Park. Ingham County Department of Roads, Lansing Township and the City of Lansing have met to discuss the project and funding sources for it. Although the City is completing the design for their portion of the project and cost estimates for the remainder of the project, no commitments have been made by Lansing Township or Ingham County. The Township portion of this project would begin in July, 2014, with completion in October, 2014. This project offers an improved service, the ability to safely travel from one park to the other as well as to the local businesses along the route.
Update: This project is regional in scope, however, there was no funding provided by the counties or adjacent township that this project would affect was a barrier to collaboration of this project. The Lansing Township Board of Trustees, decided at its April 9, 2013 meeting that participating in this project was not fiscally feasible. The project cost had increased to $1.2 million of which the Township share would have been $500,000 or 12.5% of its annual budget.
