Possible improvements that will be considered include:

• Adding pedestrian crosswalks along the Haslett Road corridor at Westminster Way, near the Parkwood YMCA, Boise Ile Drive, Bayonne Avenue, Benson Drive, Green Road, and Copper Creek Drive/Bird Farm Lane.
• Enhancing pedestrian safety at new and/or existing crosswalks on Haslett Road by utilizing flashing beacons, hawk signals, and/or mini pedestrian refuge islands, similar to those recently constructed by the city of East Lansing on Burcham Drive and Hagadorn Road.
• Determining if a road diet can be implemented on the remaining 4-lane segment of Haslett Road from Park Lake Road to Marsh Road. Road diets improve safety for all roadway users by reducing vehicle-to-vehicle conflicts, calming traffic, and creating a safer environment for pedestrians and bicyclists.

To further improve pedestrian safety, the Township began construction of the American House Meridian Pathway. This off-road trail will link the existing Inter-Urban/MSU to Lake Lansing Trail with the pathway on the south side of Haslett Road at the Benson Drive intersection (shown in green on the map below). In the future, the trail will be extended north through Hillbrook Park to connect with Lake Lansing Road (shown in purple on the map below).
