PORTAGE, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – The City of Portage will hold its third Portage Road 360 Community Open House this Wednesday from 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Portage Zhang Senior Center.
City officials say the open house is part of the city’s ongoing effort to shape the future of Portage Road from East Osterhout Avenue to East Centre Avenue by gathering public input on potential roadway and corridor improvements.
Portage Road 360 builds on the Lake Center District Subarea Plan, approved as part of the City’s Master Plan in 2024, which introduced improvements such as a new traffic signal at Forest Drive and updates to commercial zoning. The city is now looking for additional community feedback to help refine design concepts and ensure the corridor reflects the priorities of Portage residents, businesses, and visitors.
“We’re excited to hear directly from the community,” said a Peter Dame, Chief Development Officer. “This is another chance for residents and business owners to weigh in on improvements that could impact everyday use of the Lake Center corridor – on options to slow traffic and improve vehicular and pedestrian safety to adding street trees, lighting, and bike and multiuser path connections.”
