Plymouth Township was recently awarded a federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Grant in the amount of $545,271 for the Ann Arbor Road sidewalk project located under the CSX rail bridge.
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) will also contribute $350,000 to the project effort, which is expected to be repaid by the "Plymouth Walk" apartment and condo project, using the projected Plymouth Walk Brownfield Tax Capture, according to officials.
Officials said the sidewalk installation will enhance public safety and connectivity in the corridor. They added they believe the project will also leverage the ability of city officials to request improvements to the bridge by the railroad operators.
