The White Lake Beacon reports that a grant for the proposed multi-million-dollar Fred Meijer/Berry Junction Bike Trail could fund construction for the first five miles of the trail.

The on-again, off-again Fred Meijer/Berry Junction Bike Trail projects appears to be once again a go.
The bike trail, which planners hope will take bikers and trail users from White Lake Drive, at Blank Road, through Fruitland, Dalton and Muskegon townships, where the plan is to link it up with the Lakeshore at the Causeway, near the Consumers Power plant, seemed to be on track in early 2008 when the trail committee received a $400,000 grant from the Comstock Park-based West Michigan Trails and Greenways Coalition.
The Fred Meijer Foundation was to provide a matching grant as well. Alas, that plan died on the vine as the necessary funding match dried up before the project could get off the ground. Now the trail has new life, said Meijer/Berry Junction Bike Trail Committee chairperson and Dalton Township Supervisor, Chris Hall.
