ANN ARBOR — The City of Ann Arbor is set to receive $1 million in dedicated funding through the newly signed State of Michigan budget to support the engineering and design of the northernmost segment of the Treeline, known as The Gateway.
This critical segment will serve as a vibrant connector between downtown Ann Arbor and the Huron River, linking key destinations including the Border to Border Trail (B2B), the Argo Cascades, and the newly developed Broadway Park West.
