PAINT CREEK TRAILWAYS COMMISSION
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

4480 Orion Road, Tuesday, March 21, 2023, 7:00 P.M.

Notice is hereby given that the Paint Creek Trailways Commission will hold a public hearing to receive public
comments on a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant application for the Renovation of Paint Creek
Trail Bridge 31.7 in the City of Rochester. The project site is located on the Paint Creek Trail between Ludlow
Avenue and Dinosaur Hill Nature Preserve.
A structural inspection of the nearly 100-year-old timber railroad bridge documented extensive decay of its
structural components which compromise the safety of the bridge. A complete renovation will improve
accessibility and safety concerns for all users. The renovation design follows the standards of universal design,
allowing access for all and increasing the width and weight capacity of the bridge to allow safe passage for
emergency and maintenance vehicles.
The Public Hearing will be held Tuesday, March 21, 2023 commencing at 7:00 p.m. Michigan Time, at the
Paint Creek Cider Mill Building, 4480 Orion Road, Rochester, MI 48306.
All citizens are encouraged to attend and participate.
A copy of the draft grant application will be available to the public for inspection beginning Tuesday, March 7,
2023 during regular business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. Wednesday) at the Paint Creek Trailways Commission Offices, 4480 Orion Road, Rochester, Oakland
County, Michigan. It will also be available at Rochester City Hall, 400 6 th Street, Rochester, Oakland County,
