A recent example of Brownstown Township's commitment to a linked greenway system is the Woodruff Corridor Bike Path Project. The township has secured funding for a multi-use trail running along Woodruff Road, from West Jefferson Avenue in the east to Fort Street in the west, a distance of approximately 1.5 miles. This greenway trail will link Brownstown Township with the City of Gibraltar and Lake Erie Metropark. Construction of the bike path will begin shortly.
When completed, the Woodruff Corridor Bike Path will be an important connection for the planned Downriver Linked Greenway. This regional greenway will provide over 30 miles of greenways connecting approximately 4,800 acres of parkland, as well as link commercial facilities in Rockwood, Flat Rock, and Gibraltar. The construction of Brownstown's Woodruff Corridor Bike Path is an important first step in this truly significant regional project. This project was funded by TEA-21 and Brownstown Township for a preliminary total of $339,625.
