Plymouth begins $2M downtown streetscape project

Downtown Plymouth is about to become much friendlier to pedestrians now that the city's Downtown Development Authority has begun work on the first phase of a streetscape project.

This phase calls for redoing the intersection of Main Street and Penniman Avenue, a $500,000 portion of the overall $2 million, two-year project. Construction is set to begin in earnest in April and finish within 4-6 weeks.

"It will bring a fresh look to the overall streetscape and improve the safety of the intersection," says John Buzuvis, director of business operations and special projects for the Plymouth DDA.

The improvements include a resurfacing of the streets, realignment of new brick crosswalks, new LED traffic lights, countdown crosswalk signals, and a cement intersection. The middle of the intersection will feature a decorative compass that will serve as a piece of public art.

The DDA plans to do the same for the intersection of Penniman and Ann Arbor Trail next year.
