(Crystal A. Proxmire, Feb. 6, 2022)
Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, MI – Woodward Avenue is slated for repaving from 8 mile in Ferndale up to I-696 in Pleasant Ridge with a road diet in the Ferndale portion. The plan will reduce Woodward by one lane through Ferndale to add a protected bike lane. The project is being completed by The Michigan Department of Transportation with input and funding from the cities, plus a $1.17 million TAP grant through SEMCOG.
Oakland County Times spoke with Mayor Melanie Piana of Ferndale and Mayor Bret Scott of Pleasant Ridge about the project – including the timeline, the scope, the plan for businesses, and what the plan means for users of the roadway – including those not in vehicles.
