The City of Manistique has joined with the Sault Tribe, Manistique Area Schools, and the Schoolcraft County Health Department to apply for a safe routes to school sidewalk grant. The grant has been approved and plans are to implement this project in the summer of 2012.

The new sidewalks will promote a healthier lifestyle for residents and a safer route to school for children.

Project was completed Summer of 2012. City residents are very pleased with the new sidewalks, and there has been a noticeable increase in walkers and bikers on those sidewalks.
