The Pittsfield Township Board will consider an agreement that will see Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation grant $250,000 to the township for the extension of the Platt Road Greenaway Path.
The township has also received approximately $1 million through the Southeast Michigan Council of Government's Transportation Initiatives program for the project.
The 10-foot paved path is planned for the west side of Platt Road, between Michigan Avenue and Wall Park. It will use an existing midblock crossing at Hidden Creek and install two more at the township hall and at Wall Park - the township's southernmost park - adding to the township's 11 miles of greenways.

The item is one of several on the agenda for the meeting set for 6:30 p.m., Jan. 13.

Nice idea. Thank you to the kids who support this. Seems a bit of diversity in the make-up of the kids leading the group would go a long way to making "everyone" feel welcome. Sadly, not seeing it, at least in what is presented here.
Awful, racist perspective. There is nothing wrong with the "make-up" of these four kids.
Not saying there is anything wrong with those four kids. Really appreciate what they are doing and think it is great. Hardly find it racist to think having folks representative of other "groups" leading the group would go even further to making everyone feel welcome.
As we noticed the rapid deterioration and indentation of the road from all of this truck traffic, which presumably will only get worse as the weather and road surface gets warmer, we have wondered just who is responsible for the cost to repair/replace these roads?
Did anyone ask the nearby residents if they want a party palace in their neighborhood? Traffic, parking, crowds, trash, noise: was any of this considered when making this decision?
The organizers are required to submit an application to the City of Saline for this event. If you wish to provide input, comments can be sent to the City Clerk or made in person at anytime or more specifically when their application appears on the council agenda.
Providing input just like the data center had input given. When a decision is made around here, it has already been made.
