Downtown Plymouth streetscape project wraps up

Work is wrapping up on this year's phase of the downtown Plymouth streetscape project late this week.

The Plymouth Downtown Development Authority is spending $2 million to revamp the Wayne County suburb's streetscape, making it more pedestrian friendly and improving its overall aesthetics. The first phase, worth $500,000, of the two-year project rehabbed the intersection of Main Street and Penniman Avenue.

"It's looking great," says Tony Burscato, director of operations for the Plymouth DDA. "We have this new decorative compass and concrete intersection that we think will be quite popular for some time."

Other improvements include a resurfacing of the streets, realignment of new brick crosswalks, LED traffic lights, and countdown crosswalk signals.

Next year, the DDA plans to do the same for the intersection of Penniman and Ann Arbor Trail.
