As of December 1, 2022, information regarding the award and award date has not been disclosed. Although a firm timeline for construction has not been determined, construction is not expected to start prior to 2024. *The closed solicitation has been included below for reference: The City of Traverse City is requesting proposals from consulting landscape architectural/civil engineering firms to provide final design and construction administration services for the Traverse Area Recreation Trail (TART) Expansion and Extension between West End Beach and the intersection of Garfield Avenue/US 37 and Eastern Avenue, located within the City of Traverse City. One firm will be selected as a qualified firm to provide the engineering services for the project. The Michigan Department of Transportation is reconstructing Grandview Parkway from Garfield Avenue to Division Street in 2024 providing an ideal opportunity to address non-motorized transportation improvements along the corridor. In the fall of 2021, the City hired Progressive AE to serve as a third-party consultant to facilitate general coordination, engineering, engagement, and planning services related to the Grandview Parkway project. The City, Downtown Development Authority (DDA), and TART Trails also engaged the services of Progressive AE to identify opportunities and create a conceptual plan for the existing trail along the waterfront from the West End Beach parking lot, extending past the Murchie Bridge to continue along the corridor and down Peninsula Drive to the intersection with Garfield Avenue. The trail has enjoyed a long history of financial support from state agencies and has the potential to garner significant federal, state, and private funding support.
