Project Purpose
The purpose of this study to find the best ways to better connect downtown, neighborhoods and the broader community by readapting the Woodward Loop and improving the street, sidewalk and bike path system.
![Page 11: Document](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070500/568168eb550346895ddfe9d5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It can’t do it all, but…
It is envisioned that improving this network will improve livability and the long term economic health of the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

Stakeholder InputMake it easier and safer for pedestrians to cross
Improve sidewalks and bike paths
Better connect the neighborhoods and downtown
Improve transit
Convert the Loop to two-way traffic
Connect Saginaw to the Loop
Drivers have a hard time navigating into and out of downtown
The loop serves the interest of pass through drivers better than local drivers

Pike Street and Paddock Street• Better access to downtown• Lower speed roads
• University Dr. converted to 2-way• Huron Street converted to 2-way
between Mill Street and freeway portion of M-59
