Throughout this spring and summer, East Bay Township residents and stakeholders will have the opportunity to help develop a vision for the U.S. 31 corridor in East Bay Township, branded as the East Bay Beach District.

The East Bay Beach District has long been identified as a priority district in the Township, in need of an actionable framework for placemaking, safety improvements, and public infrastructure investment. The recently adopted East Bay Township Master Plan identifies a series of priorities for this corridor, and emphasizes future improvements that are rooted in resiliency and green infrastructure best practices, facilitate improved safe connections to corridor destinations, the Grand Traverse Bay waterfront, and surrounding multimodal transportation routes, and promote expanded outdoor dining opportunities and public streetscaping.

A public design charrette will be held the week of May 13. Public open houses will be held on May 14 and May 16 from 4-6 PM at Harbor Brook Hall. A complete charrette schedule can be found here.
