Apple Avenue Corridor Improvement Plan
May 7, 2024
The City of Muskegon Development Services Division is seeking consulting services to assist in the creation of a Corridor Improvement Plan for Apple Avenue (M-46), from Muskegon Avenue to US-31 (approximately 2.2 miles). This Corridor Improvement Plan will be a collaboration between the consultant and the Development Services Division, which includes several Planners and Economic Development Analysts, who will be collecting data and public input to share with the consultant.
The Apple Avenue corridor traverses six neighborhoods, serves as a major east-west arterial, and is home to a range of land uses including residential and important commercial districts containing retail stores, restaurants, and service providers. It also provides access to several community facilities such as parks, healthcare centers, and government facilities. Newly approved multi-family residential developments in this area will also change the dynamic of the corridor.
The City is currently working with the Michigan Department of Transportation on a potential roadway reconfiguration for Apple Avenue that is in the design stage. This Corridor Improvement Plan will not focus on the street design, but rather on the areas adjacent to the street, including driveway approaches, sidewalks, private property, and alleys.
