Press release from the Township of Belleville:

February 24, 2022

The Township is earmarking $290,000 from the state to make improvements at two pedestrian corridors leading to the Silver Lake Light Rail Station.

The grant from the Safe Streets to Transit program will allow the Township to replace broken and missing sidewalks along Belmont Avenue and Franklin Street.

The funding, through the state Department of Transportation, will also allow the township to make the areas fully accessible under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.

Belleville officials are eager to upgrade these walkways with the anticipated influx of riders following the completion of a mixed-use redevelopment project that will soon create 232 residential units across the street from the station on Belmont Avenue.
