Upper Peninsula Community Receives $1 Million Grant To Improve Safety

One Upper Peninsula Community has received nearly $1 million to improve trail safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.

The Michigan Department of Transportation Alternatives Program has granted $940, 919 to the community of Paradise to fund infrastructure enhancements in downtown.

The project involves constructing a paved trail and sidewalk on M-123 and installing lighting, signage, and crosswalks.

The funding is intended to create new pathways that will connect to the existing 11-mile Paradise/Whitefish Point Bike Pathway.
