More on the Corridors

Silver Creek Corridor

Once an open waterway, Silver Creek was culverted between 1920 and 1933, burying the entire creek beneath Southeast Grand Rapids through residential, commercial, and industrial areas; the culvert runs from the Boston Square neighborhood in the east, to Plaster Creek and Grand River in the west.

The Silver Creek Corridor continues to be a thriving and dynamic area, with numerous employment and job centers, business districts, and residential neighborhoods with a unique identity and culture. No trail currently exists along this corridor. This project is an opportunity to not only envision what a trail system could look like, but to also explore how it can be used to further support the health, stability, and vibrancy of the corridor and adjacent neighborhoods.

Plaster Creek Corridor

Originally known as Ken-o-Sha, Plaster Creek was renamed after a large gypsum deposit found at its mouth. Now an urban creek with documented pollution and sedimentation concerns, it runs from Gaines Township in Kent County in the east, through Southside Grand Rapids and on to the Grand River in the west.

While much of the Plaster Creek Trail is in place, there are significant gaps in the trail system and other areas in need of enhancement. This project will be an opportunity to complete the Plaster Creek Trail better interconnect nearby neighborhoods to this natural resource and recreation space.
