Grand River Edges Trail Groundbreak

Multiple city, state, and trail-related entities gathered on June 15 in downtown Grand Rapids to break ground on the most recent installment of the Grand River Edges Trail. WIELAND was hired several months ago to begin the mobilization and construction of this important next leg of the trail system.

Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand spoke, as did State Representatives Mark Huizenga and Carol Glanville, along with a host of other city and trail-related organizations. WIELAND’s West Michigan office participated in the ceremony.

The Leonard to Ann Street Trail is just the latest leg in an ambitious, multi-decade project that someday hopes to connect the entire west shore of Michigan via a walkable and bikeable pathway.
