- Hwy 95A at Hood Drive
- Hwy 29 at Hood Drive
- Hwy 95A at Ensley Street
- Hwy 29 at Detroit Boulevard
Improvements will include one or more of the following: pedestrian signals, pushbuttons, sidewalk, curb ramps and crosswalks. The projects will create minor traffic delays due to lane closures and speed reductions.

Not sure who decided all of these pedestrian intersection improvements was the best use of our money…the sidewalks which go nowhere are my personal favorites.
I would much rather see this money spent on synchronizing the existing traffic lights, or changing the programming so that you don’t get a “red” at an intersection of Hwy 29 and some small intersection when there is not even a car at the side street of the intersection.
This is good but when are they going to put in a turn light for Detroit Blvd. That intersection is always dangerous for anyone making a left turn at Hwy 29 from either direction on Detroit. After living down Detroit, near Pine Forest for over 30 years, I would have thought that making that turn would have improved by now, especially with WalMart on Hwy. 29 and so many businesses on 9 Mile but it’s still the same “take you chances” situation.
