We've got history.
Over the years, extensive studies have been conducted to explore ways to improve the corridor, including the 2014 Capitol Corridor Study by Tri-County and the 2017 Shaping the Avenue project by Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA).
​
The timeline below outlines previous studies that have been completed, which are now setting the stage for a final, collective vision moving forward – The Vision for Michigan’s Avenue.
How is this study different?
You've shared your ideas for years - we hear you!
Since the most recent study in 2017 - Shaping the Avenue - our nation, region, and local communities have seen change. Michigan Avenue has new housing developments, road improvements, and more. We've also experienced a global pandemic that effectively shut down our world and potentially changed our priorities.
We are diving into past studies and confirming previous input from the community to create a single, unified vision for the corridor that is technically feasible and implementable. This study is an opportunity to clarify our community's goals and objectives for the Michigan Avenue Corridor as we envision our current and future transportation needs - like walkability and ease of driving, riding the bus, and bicycling - and development desires - like access to businesses and emergency services, placemaking, and other designs that inspire vibrant public spaces for people and businesses along the backbone of our region's urban core.
​
We can't wait to see what Michigan's Avenue will look like, together.

Explore the Corridor!
Navigate the map below to view signalized intersections, bus stops, planned construction projects, cultural districts, and more along Michigan's Avenue! We encourage you to use this information as food for thought when sharing your input and thinking about what you want to see along the corridor.
What cultural district do you spend the most time in? Do the bus stops along the corridor meet your needs?
Do you use intersections more than others? These are just a few questions you can think about when you take the survey or attend a community event!
Implementation is coming.
With the City of Lansing's planned road construction along Michigan Avenue in 2023 and 2024, this is a pivotal moment to take a step forward in enhancing the corridor and making sure our community's projects work toward a shared vision!
​
Below are frequently asking questions and thought starters that we will continue to update throughout the duration of the project to keep the community informed as the study and future road projects proceed.
