2019 “Welcome to the Cadillac Area” sign at the NB US 131 Exit 177 (Mitchell Street) has been completed (except ground restoration). The 20′ x 45′ sign is part of the DDA’s Master Plan to encourage use of Exit 177 which directs traffic into the Clam Lake DDA District. The Welcome Sign is part of the Mitchell Street Improvements which also includes the above mentioned light pole islands and sidewalk extension.

PROPOSED PROJECTS
Safe Routes 2 School – Action Plan for Mackinaw Trail Middle School complete. Were hoping to partner with the three Cadillac Schools in the City on one grant application for $200,000 grant per school. Funding placed on hold as the Wexford County Road Commission would apply on the Township’s behalf, as the applicant must be the entity that receives the Act 51 road funding and with the Covid-19 Pandemic; the Road Commission is facing less funding through the gas tax with the “Stay Home” mandates.
