On October 31, the ribbon cutting for a revitalized section of the TART (Traverse Area Recreation and Transportation) Trail was officially opened.

Begun in the early spring of 2025, the large-scale project involved rebuilding 2.2 miles of M-72 (Grandview Parkway), from US-31/M-37 (Division Street) to M-22, and also 1.2 miles of M-22 (Bay Shore Drive) from M-72.

The new intersection is a roundabout, which includes a HAWK (High intensity Activated crossWalK) on M-22 to more safely guide walkers and cyclists.

The ribbon cutting, Friday, was hosted by Elmwood Township. The entire project by the Michigan Department of Transportation cost $25.8 million.

TART comments, "With this major investment, we welcome a new multi-modal pathway along the east side from Division Street to Cherry Bend Road. Thank you so much to our local, state, and national partners and advocates."
