I-96 Transportation Study
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is
conducting a survey regarding the I-96 Corridor Study that
is being co-sponsored by the City of Novi.
This project includes a major land use and
transportation study of the greater I-96 corridor from
I-275 to Wixom Road bounded by Twelve Mile Road and
Grand River Avenue. The project will incorporate
cooperative efforts with MDOT, RCOC, and the City of
Wixom while taking advantage of major private investment
relationships with Providence Hospital, Twelve Oaks
Mall, Rock Financial Showplace and others. The study
will address road access, beautification and widening
improvements for traffic safety and economic
development. The corridor is high value to the region
and the City of Novi. MDOT has high interest because of
the volume and congestion on the freeway (average daily
traffic counts of 132,300 on I-96 east and
westbound). For the City of Novi, the corridor
represents the main thoroughfares of Grand River Avenue,
I-96, and Twelve Mile Road which residents and commerce
rely upon daily and which are all in need of upgrades.
By carefully studying this key area of the community,
the City’s future is better planned for, via the Master
Plan for Land Use, the Capital Improvement Plan, and
other tools used to forecast and guide future
development. The study's final report will be
submitted to the City of Novi in December 2010.
