The Tri-County Regional Planning Commission (Tri-County), the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Lansing/East Lansing Metropolitan Area in Michigan, is seeking responses from qualified consultants to analyze alternatives for improving access to the northern East Lansing/southern Clinton County area as well as the surrounding local road and freeway systems.
Tri-County will team up with Clinton County, the cities of East Lansing and Dewitt, Bath Township, Dewitt Township, the Clinton County Road Commission, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), and other partners to support this study.
Rapid growth and development in this part of the region in general have now made it an important time to consider how to best provide improved access to the area. The study will examine current transportation needs and changing travel patterns including road connections and access, traffic operations and safety, bike and pedestrian circulation, and transit service. The study will use an iterative process and extensive feedback from the public to evaluate different access alternatives, leading to a set of preferred projects and an accompanying implementation and action plan.
