1. Request for approval of a bid for the Brighton Road bike/walk path to be constructed this spring along Brighton Road from the Brighton City limit to the entrance to Rolling Meadows Subdivision.
Peter Finkbeiner of Boss Engineering presented the bids for the bike path. He recommended the low bidder, Summit Transportation, for the project construction. Summit failed to include $12,000.00 in soil removal in their bid. Finkbeiner asked that the board approve $105,000.00 for the project. It was the consensus of the board that the bike path should be constructed and that condemnation proceedings be instigated either by the Livingston County Road Commission or the Township Attorney on behalf of Genoa Township for the property belonging to Haase and Blackwell. The bike path would be constructed from the Brighton City limit to the entrance to Rolling Meadows Subdivision, just west of Maltby Middle School.
