KALAMAZOO, Mich.—The Michigan Department of Transportation will hold a community meeting Wednesday, Feb. 28, at Kalamazoo Christian High School to discuss upcoming work on the Stadium Drive/Howard Street intersection.

The meeting is set for 4 to 6 p.m. at the high school, which is located at 2121 Stadium Drive. MDOT and Kalamazoo city officials will discuss the intersection work that was announced recently. The session is a chance for area residents to see plans, provide feedback and suggest adjustments.

The increasingly busy intersection near É«É«À² Michigan University will be rebuilt in 2019. Tentative plans call for adding an additional left-turn lane on northbound and southbound Howard Street. A second left-turn lane would be added on eastbound Stadium to northbound Howard Street, heading onto the É«É«À² campus.

Traffic signal improvements and a reconstructed railroad crossing with new warning devices also would be part of the project.

According to the Kalamazoo Gazette, an average of 25,000 vehicles use the intersection daily.
