Improving Mobility and Connecting Vulnerable Communities to Lake St. Clair

The Macomb County is seeking professional and technical services for the development of comprehensive design and engineering plans to fill gaps in the county's non-motorized trail network. The plans should connect greenspace at the coastline of Lake St. Clair to the existing Great Lakes Way Trail Route, crossing I-94 and M-3 and circumvent Selfridge Air National Guard Base. The project involves passing through Clinton Township, Mount Clemens, Harrison Township, and Chesterfield Township, and establishing non-motorized trail routes along and near M-3 and I-94. The plans should be developed through consistent collaboration with community stakeholders. Key aspects of the project include: • Connecting residents to parks in southern Clinton Twp, waterfront parks, and Downtown Mount Clemens • Closing critical gaps in the non-motorized trail network and sidewalk system • Developing preliminary engineering drawings suitable for grant funding • Providing cost estimates for engineering and trail development • Identifying ways to improve access and alternative transportation options to everyday destinations along M-3
