GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. ­- The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has launched an online survey for a segment of US-131 between M-11 (28th Street) and Wealthy Street in Grand Rapids and Wyoming as part of a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study. The PEL process represents a collaborative and integrated approach to transportation decision-making that considers environmental, community, and economic goals, as well as traffic issues, early in the transportation planning process. 

The survey, also offered in Spanish (encuesta en linea), is available now through April 7, 2022, and aims to reach a larger and more diverse group of Michigan residents and travelers. This important phase of the study collects input and comments from the public regarding design strategies and potential options for the corridor. The objectives of the survey are covered in this short video also available in Spanish.
