March 10th Meeting for Clinton River Trail Bridge
I was just discussing this bridge with someone recently and said I didn’t think anything was happening with it due to the current budget crunch in Pontiac. I was wrong. Under Act 51, 1% of the road funding each city, village, and county receives must go towards non-motorized transportation. Perhaps that is the grant match funding source in this case.
There is a public meeting on March 10th to discussed the proposed bridge. Here is the press release from the City of Pontiac:
