Why this matters
PA 51 is the backbone of Michigan’s road funding distribution, and sec. 10k governs how money flows to nonmotorized facilities like sidewalks and bike paths. Extending that provision to explicitly cover maintenance — not just construction — affects how local agencies can spend nonmotorized dollars on aging infrastructure, a recurring gap in trail and sidewalk upkeep.
