Last week, the Village of Elk Rapids received exciting news from the Michigan Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). Phase 1 of the Nakwema Trailway Elk Rapids to Maple Bay segment secured a conditional funding commitment of $2 million. This development provides critical momentum for this generational project. We are grateful to the Village for its leadership and to the community for its support. Huge shout-out to our Elk Rapids Trail Team for their hard work!
Engineers from Spicer Group, Inc. are conducting an on-the-ground survey of the Torch Lake Township corridor. When you see an orange vest, give 'em a wave. Their surveying efforts started just before the major March snowstorm, and they can now complete evaluations in slightly less snowy conditions.
The Nakwema (nah-KWAY-mah) Trailway is a generational investment in the region, our identity, our people, and our future. Nakwema — meaning "where paths connect" in Ojibwe — will provide critical non-motorized transportation and recreation infrastructure joining Charlevoix and Traverse City, in between, and beyond. Top of Michigan Trails Council is partnering with TART Trails on this project.
