DC-4 22-0254 Resolution to Amend R-21-395 Approving a Professional Services Agreement with DLZ Michigan, Inc. for Engineering Design Services for the E. Medical Center Drive Bridge Rehabilitation and Widening Project
Please don’t widen the bridge without guarantees that non-motorized transit will be improved in this area. The fact of the matter is that this area is terrible for cyclists and pedestrians, and nobody should expect that it’s going to magically get better without some creative problem solving and hard decisions. This is one of them. If you end up approving the widening, please convince me that it won’t just lead to worse outcomes for the things we supposedly care about, particularly a2zero and vision zero. Please don’t miss this opportunity to ensure we make this area safer for all road users.
