AuGres City Council Approves Bid For Main Street Bike Path Project

old bikeThe AuGres City Council approved a $273,980 bid to create a bike path on Main Street leading from downtown AuGres to the mouth of the AuGres River.

The money will come from the $750,000 Michigan Economic Development Corporation grant that the city received in January. The path will connect from US-23 to Main Street. This is a continuation of a project the city of AuGres is using the MEDC grant for.

The addition of the path is part of a number of improvements added to S. Main St. Construction included the enclosing of a ditch on the east side of the road, and replacing the underground storm system. Now, with that project completed, the bike path can be constructed.

Another project, using the MEDC grant, will involve roadwork at the intersection of S. Court St. and South Stree, and is expected to start this fall. The sanitary sewer force main will be replaced, and ditches will be enclosed, and the underground storm system will be replaced. The street will be resurfaced, and there will be new street lighting and landscaping.
