SAULT STE. MARIE, MI— The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians is getting a $19.8 million federal grant to improve the tribe’s infrastructure.
The Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity grant will be used to improve pedestrian safety on high-speed and high-traffic corridors, promote connectivity, and improve mobility for residents who depend on transit, walking, and bicycling.
Officials say multi-modal paths and bike lanes on Shunk Road, 3 Mile Road, and the Marquette Avenue corridors will encourage use of Sault Ste. Marie’s bike network. It will also improve safety by separating pedestrians from vehicle traffic.
