EASTMAN AVENUE TRAFFIC STUDY TOPIC OF

SEPTEMBER 6 SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING

Traffic consulting firm, DLZ of Michigan, Inc., will be back in front of Midland City Council on Wednesday, September 6, at 7 p.m. to present their review of Eastman Avenue traffic improvement suggestions made by the community during the Eastman Avenue Traffic Study survey conducted earlier this year.

Last December, DLZ presented the community with alternatives for improving traffic along one of Midland’s busiest corridors – Eastman Avenue from Wackerly Street to Commerce Drive. Public input opportunities following that presentation resulted in many traffic improvement suggestions from the community, which DLZ has spent the last several months investigating. Wednesday’s presentation will include a recap of the three original traffic improvement alternatives, a review of the community’s suggestions and discussion on what the next steps will be in the Eastman Avenue improvement process.

Citizens are invited to attend the meeting in Midland City Hall Council Chambers or view the meeting live on MGTV-5. The Council meeting will also available via streaming video on the City’s website (www.midland-mi.org).
