Wagner Road is under the jurisdiction of the Washtenaw County Road Commission. The reconstruction of Wagner Road between Jackson and Liberty, began in the Spring 2007 and was completed in the Fall of 2007. This work replaced the existing two-lane rural road with a three-lane concrete road with bicycle lanes, curb and gutter and storm sewer.
On November 10, 2005, City Council approved Resolution R-570-11-05 authorizing a cost sharing agreement with the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) for $147,000.00 plus a commitment of $75,000.00 in federal transportation funds to cover the City’s share of the grant match requirements for the project.
