Ongoing Projects

Project 1: North Riley Highway Streetscape Improvements

Safety and aesthetic improvements to N. Riley Highway (Former State Road 9) between Rampart Street and Downtown. These improvements will include sidewalks and trails, landscaped medians, street lighting, and intersection improvements. The proposed design drastically improves pedestrian and bicycle safety by providing a dedicated multi-use trail running the entire length of the 1.3 miles, which currently has no pedestrian facilities. In addition, landscaping and design improvements will be incorporated to serve as a gateway to the community.  

Upcoming work includes:

  • Installation of interior medians and traffic islands (in progress)

  • Roundabout construction at North Michigan Road and North Riley Highway to begin May 27, 2025 and scheduled completion mid-September

  • Traffic Shift: Work on the west side of the roundabout remains on schedule. Traffic is expected to shift to the east side by the end of August to allow final paving and finishing.

  • Bypass Lane Construction: Near Isabelle Farms, bypass lane construction has begun along the eastside of the upcoming entry roundabout. Utility relocation is complete. Construction of the Isabelle Farms roundabout will begin at the conclusion of the North Michigan Road roundabout.
