Milford Kensington Connector trail opens

A short but important greenway is about to open in Oakland County. The Milford Kensington Connector is set to open later this week as a way to connect some major institutions in this little hamlet on the county's west end.

The 10-foot-wide asphalt trail connects the edge of the village of Milford at General Motors Road to Kensington Metro Park about three miles away. It will provide safe passage between the park and Milford's downtown, YMCA and library. It connects about 30 miles of trails and sidewalks in the Milford area.

"It's a much-needed addition to the area," says Donald Green, supervisor for Milford Township.

The $2.9 million project was first dreamed up in the mid 1990s and funded by a millage assessed for greenway improvements a few years ago. Construction began at the beginning of last fall and finished this spring. People have already begun using it.
