Residents, community stakeholders and local business owners are welcome to attend the meeting to discuss a joint project between the Michigan Department of Transportation and Plainfield Charter Township to resurface the M-44 Connector, also known as Plainfield Avenue, from I-96 to Airway Street.
MDOT and Plainfield Township officials will be on hand to answer any questions the public may have about the upcoming project.
The project is a part of the township’s “Reimagine Plainfield” initiative and focuses on transforming the corridor into a safer and more aesthetically pleasing space, including creating an inviting atmosphere for pedestrians and cyclists and slowing vehicle speeds by narrowing lanes and adding medians.
Crash data analysis shows that Plainfield Avenue has a higher serious crash rate compared to similar roads, with over 700 accidents between 2018 and 2022.
The public meeting will take place on Tuesday, July 9th at the Plainfield Township Fire Department from 4 to 7 p.m., with construction slated to begin in the spring of 2025.
