Street projects in Big Rapids for the summer are starting to come together.

 

One of the biggest ones slated this year, is the resurfacing of Maple Street from South Third Avenue to Bronson Avenue on the east side of Big Rapids.

 

Last month, the Big Rapids City Commission approved the MDOT contract for the improvements which will total $214,015 for the road project, which includes $42,803 in matching local funds from the City.

 

Public Works Director Heather Bowman says they are currently bidding out some of their street projects for this year and most of them will be starting by July.

 

There is no start date currently for the Maple Street resurfacing project.
