MDOT"s FY 2026 Safety Call for Local Safety Program Projects

[Tim Potter]

Perhaps we could propose funding to pay for all the accessibility problems MDOT created for people trying to walk/ bike along and across M-roads in the state?

"... the unit delivers the Local Safety Program, in which the goal is improving the safety for all users (motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users) on public roadways under local agency jurisdiction. All roads open to the public, even if such roads are not on the federal-aid eligible network, are eligible for safety funds. Applications are accepted annually."

Nothing ironic there vs. what MDOT has done along US-127 w/ all the new J-turns, no.  Nothing here, move along!

I've used the J-Turns at Hyde Rd, Maple Rapids Rd, and County Line Rd by car, not by bike or walking, to get on southbound US127.  Even when the traffic is moderate, I wait for a big opening because of its high speed.  I'm relieved when I get one.  I haven't had any close-calls.  I wonder if there have been crashes at the J-turns.

The Michigan Traffic Crash Facts website has 2022 crash data, so you should be able to find data thru 2022 for those intersections like French Rd. which had been converted earlier, not to mention others around the state.

Here's a link to the query tool page: https://www.michigantrafficcrashfacts.org/querytool#q1;0;2022;;
