The Township has a comprehensive plan for the development of pedestrian pathways throughout the Township. Currently, the Township has approximately 28 miles of hard surfaced public pathways which are located along the main north/south and east/west roadways. In addition, many neighborhoods have sidewalks and internal pathways within open spaces.

The overall plan is to create pedestrian connections along all main roads in the Township, as well as connect parks, schools, public facilities, the City of Northville and to adjacent communities.

The primary mechanism for the construction of new pathways is in conjunction with new development or redevelopment of existing projects. Developers are required to install pathways along their road frontage in locations that are designed on the township’s pathway plan. As resources become available, the township will review feasibility of potential projects and work to fill gaps in the pathway system.
