"Gratiot Avenue has seen a troubling amount of pedestrian accidents in recent years. The new funds will allow for a range of safety measures, including better crosswalks, clearer lane markers, and a redesigned street that calms traffic to reduce speeds. The goal is simple—fewer crashes, fewer injuries, and fewer deaths."
