Manistee Riverwalk to Get $1.65M in Upgrades

The northern Michigan town of Manistee is set to get a $1.65 million makeover. The construction, which is expected to start in March and be completed by September, will focus primarily on the 1.5-mile riverwalk, according to an MLive article.

The riverwalk runs along the Manistee channel and leads pedestrians past shops, restaurants, marinas and more on the way to the Lake Michigan beach. According to the MLive article, work will include replacing lumber decking; painting railings and light posts; adding ADA-compliant sidewalk access; constructing rain gardens; and placing historical, cultural and directional signage.
