Freedom Township, Michigan

Washtenaw County is seeking to update the county’s Right of Way Master Plan and map, which are used to indicate existing/desired road right-of-way widths, classifications of roads, and future road needs. The current approved map is dated 1973. The County has been working with several of the county’s municipal entities, including Freedom Township through the SWWCOG, to solicit input from the various Planning Commissions and Boards. The intent in our area is to maintain rural character while achieving an efficient transportation system.

A draft conceptual ROW map has been issued for the township. Public meetings for further comments and input are planned by the County prior to final publication. This map may be viewed by clicking on the link below. The map is in jpeg format, and is about 400k in size.
