More bike parking along Corktown’s Michigan Avenue
There are plenty of bike infrastructure investments in Corktown these days. Here’s one more.
MDOT is doing streetscaping along Michigan Avenue between 14th and Rosa Parks (12th). Streetscaping is a big word for enhancing the sidewalks. Included in that streetscaping is much needed bike parking — a nice complement to the bike lanes installed last fall.
MDOT is fully funding the project, which will benefit the up-and-coming retail strip that includes Slows Bar B Q and the newly-opened Astro Coffee.
“There’s a lot of activity going on there,” MDOT’s Vince Ranger told MLive.com. “It doesn’t look good to have these businesses renovating fronts with bad sidewalks. So we’re just trying to clean that up for them.”
To learn more about this project, MDOT is hosting an open house at the Gaelic League on September 7th from 4pm until 6pm.
