GLPS Property Transferred to MDOT at February 22, 2021 School Board Meeting
The non-motorized trail along M-43 will be pushed outside the MDOT right-of-way once the roundabout is built, so GLPS transferred the red-shaded property to MDOT so they will be able to access, maintain, and use that trail.
