Platt Rd Greenway II Pathway Project

We’re getting close to the finish line on our Platt Rd Greenway II non-motorized pathway project near Platt Rd, between Wall Park and Waterfowl Blvd in Pittsfield Township.  

Last week, the contractor placed mast arms at the crosswalks at Wall Park and Platt Rd, as well as Platt Rd and Waterfowl Blvd. The contractor is tentatively scheduled to return November 12, 2023, to complete the installation. The pathway is open for pedestrian use but there will be intermittent closures during the crosswalk installation work.  

The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will continue to send out updates as the project progresses. Have questions about the project? Contact Chris Brinks, project engineer, at (734) 647-2788, or via email at cbrinks@wadetrim.com     

Construction on the Platt Rd Greenway II Pathway project near Platt Rd, between Wall Park and Waterfowl Blvd in Pittsfield Township, is nearly complete! 

Most aspects of the project construction are being finalized. Currently, the pathway remains closed while the contractor places topsoil and grass seed. Once completed, the pathway will open to pedestrian traffic. 

The contractor is still waiting on mast arms, which should arrive late this fall. The mast arms will have illuminated signs over the crosswalks, as well as flashing beacons, to alert vehicles that there is someone in the crosswalk. Until the mast arms are placed, please use caution while crossing at the designated locations.

The Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC), in partnership with Pittsfield Township, will begin construction on the long-awaited Platt Rd Greenway II Pathway Project between Wall Park and Waterfowl Blvd in Pittsfield Township in spring 2023. This project is funded by Pittsfield Township and a federal Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant, which is administered by WCRC.  

In the coming weeks, a contractor for WCRC will begin to place temporary construction signs and perform minor brush clearing for the planned pathway. However, construction activities are limited due to the current weight restrictions that are in place in Washtenaw County. Once the weather allows and restrictions are lifted, the contractor will begin full construction of this non-motorized pathway. Motorists can expect to see intermittent lane restrictions on Platt Rd in the coming weeks. WCRC will send additional updates as the project progresses.
