FLINT, Mich.—The City of Flint is repaving sections of three roads on Flint’s north side today: Dupont St. from Copeman Blvd. to Pasadena Ave.; Welch Blvd. from Ballenger Hwy. to Chevrolet Ave.; and Fleming Rd. from Stewart Ave. to Pierson Rd.
“This project will improve safety and traffic flow for Flint residents, as well as increase property values in surrounding areas,” Mayor Sheldon Neeley said. “Just like our partnership with Ashley Capital to redevelop Buick City down the road, this is a promise made and a promise kept to prioritize investment in Flint’s north side, with the goal of improving quality of life for residents. By investing in our transportation infrastructure, we are paving the way for more accessible and inviting neighborhoods and continuing on an exciting growth trajectory for Flint.”
Contractor Ace Asphalt is milling 1.5 inches and repaving 1.5 inches of the roads at a cost of $971,190, paid for by the City of Flint’s Major Street Fund. The City of Flint continues to pursue a variety of funding sources to repave Flint roads.
