DEARBORN — Community members are invited to offer their perspective on the city’s ongoing West Warren Avenue Transformation Project at an open meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 9 at Byblos Banquet Center, 7258 Chase Road.
This marks the second meeting of its kind to discuss the major roadway engineering project on Warren that is funded through a $24.8 million Safe Streets for All grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
The project looks to thoughtfully redesign the roadway to meet traffic safety challenges that impact motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, and local businesses. The project aims to implement a range of traffic safety solutions, including:
• Reducing vehicle speeds and mitigating weaving traffic behaviors to enhance safety.
• Constructing pedestrian walkways and shared use paths to improve connectivity throughout the corridor.
• Improving safety and operations at intersections to enhance traffic flow and reduce crashes.
• Installing green infrastructure features to mitigate flooding impacts and support citywide stormwater goals.
“Warren Ave. has long sustained a sizable portion of Dearborn’s small business economy,” Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said. “It is also a central transportation hub for the strong neighborhoods and communities along its stretch. As we look to modernize and increase safety along this vital roadway, we invite our residents to chart the future of this roadway with us.”
