District History & Character Sample Clauses

District History & Character. Grand River Avenue is one of the principal pre-freeway roads in the state of Michigan. It originated as a foot pathway. In the middle of the 19th century, the state developed the trail into a plank road that formed the basis for M-16, one of the first state trunk line highways in the early 20th century. Today, Grand River Avenue cuts across the Lower Peninsula in a northwest–southeast fashion from near Grand Rapids to Detroit. In Detroit, Grand River is one of five major avenues (along with Woodward, Michigan, Gratiot, and Xxxxxxxxx) planned by Judge Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx in 1805 that extended from Downtown Detroit After completion of I-96 in 1962, Grand River Avenue lost its state highway status along most of its length. However, the roadway remains the “Main Street” of over a dozen Michigan cities and a scenic route through one of the states most populated corridors. Within the City of Novi, Grand River Avenue is owned by the Oakland County Road Commission, parallels I-96 and is about .25 miles to the south of the freeway. Under the National Functional Classification scheme of rating highways, the corridor is designated a major arterial. Given the proximity of Grand River Avenue to I-96, the corridor services as a freeway overflow route when incidents block or congest I-96. Originally, much of the length of Grand River Avenue in Novi was either 2-lanes or 3-lanes. However, the earlier advent of the 3- lane type of cross section, which originated in the 1930s, allowed motorist to pass slower vehicles by using the center lane. Given the known safety problems with the old 3-lane configurations, much of the corridor was widened to 4-lanes with two travel lanes in each direction. Eventually, the convention of having a continuous center lane for opposing left turns gained traction in the 1970s and a significant portion of Grand River Avenue was widened to 5-lanes. This wider cross section extends from west of Wixom Road to east of Novi Road. Having been originally developed to serve as a freeway and following the typical road expansion standards of decades past, Grand River Avenue has limited non-motorized facilities, with the exception of sidewalks. However, the sidewalks are not fully connected, making pedestrian travel along the corridor difficult. Additionally, transit is not available along Grand River Avenue. This limits of the use of the corridor primarily to private automobile users. Since the road functions as a major automobile thoroughfare, accessibilit...
