•The board opened bids for improvements on NW Koronis Road, Crestridge Road, and Breezewood Road.

The project entails overlaying all of Crestridge Road, reclaiming a mile and a half length of NW Koronis Road and Breezewood Road, and reducing the crest of the hill near the intersection of NW Koronis Road and Crestridge Road.

A separate eight-foot pedestrian trail would also be built along these roads, starting on Crest Ridge Road at the intersection with Co. Rd. 181 and ending at the junction between Breezewood Road and Baywater Road.

The township received seven bids, with the low bidder being Duininck Brothers for $347,824. Second lowest was Midcontinent at $360,493, and third was Mathiowetz Construction Company at $365,432.
