People have until Friday, Aug. 18 to submit feedback about a proposed mobility plan for Belle Isle that would include two-way roads and more.
The DNR commissioned the Belle Isle Multimodal Mobility Study to see the best ways to ease traffic congestion and increase public safety on the island park in the City of Detroit.
Some of the recommendations from the study include:
- Converting the main road around the island to two-way and adding traffic circles
- Creating a welcoming bridge and entry experience
- Install protected bike lanes on the MacArthur Bridge
- Create a promenade down the center of Central Ave. for all pedestrians, including walkers and bikers
- Add parking
- Improve signage around the island for navigation
- Offer alternative mobility options like a ferry or improved public transportation
Feedback can be sent through email to TreadwellA@Michigan.gov or by phone at 313-261-5059.
