Oshtemo Improves Riding Experience on KL

Oshtemo Township recently completed renovating KL Ave between 9th and 8th streets and striped that half-mile stretch of road to provide 3.5 feet of paved shoulder by limiting the road lane for motorists to 10.5 feet.  Providing that additional six inches of space for bicyclists (see photos below) was no mean feat.  Credit for making this happen goes to Marc Elliott, Director of Public Works for Oshtemo Township, and Ryan Russell, civil engineer at Prein & Newhof.  Oversight (and encouragement) was provided by Libby Heiny-Cogswell, Oshtemo Township Supervisor.  Though Libby noted, “Nothing slower than progress!,” progress was made.  Thank you!!
