Zeeland seeks regional funding for 1-196 Business Loop pedestrian crossing
Zeeland bills a multijurisdictional effort to study a pedestrian crossing on the 1-196 Business Loop. City officials led by Mayor Kevin Klynstra aim to partner with neighboring municipalities and groups like Macatawa Greenway and Outdoor Discovery Center to evaluate options such as a pedestrian bridge or underpass, tied to 2024 MDT road work. The project, urged for decades, seeks a safer walkable crossing and regional coordination to avoid duplicating efforts.
