MDOT project aims to address speeding on dangerous Lansing road
A new initiative is commencing to address the ongoing issue of speeding and dangerous driving along a portion of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. in Lansing. Following a recent tragic incident involving a fatal crash and multiple injuries, the Michigan Department of Transportation is moving forward with a project to install four pedestrian refuge islands between Victor Ave. and Cavanaugh Rd. Local leaders, including Lansing Mayor Andy Schor, express gratitude for this effort, emphasizing the importance of enhancing safety for pedestrians and drivers in the area. Community members, such as Earl Parish who works nearby, highlight the urgent need for measures to reduce speeding on the straight roadway. Officials, like Lansing City Councilmember Adam Hussain, stress the significance of investing in the well-being of the community through infrastructure improvements. Construction of the islands is set to begin next week, with completion expected by the fall. Residents, like Parish, are optimistic that these changes will help prevent further accidents and emphasize the importance of additional measures such as reducing speed limits and increasing police presence along the road.
