Free Shuttle Fridays on Michigan Street
A new free shuttle is about to connect downtown Grand Rapids to Michigan Street! Starting this week, "Free Shuttle Fridays" will run continuously from 5 to 10 P.M. every Friday through September 11, shuttling riders between the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre downtown and Pauly's Wine Experience on Michigan Street.
It's all part of a push to get downtown visitors exploring Michigan Street's bars, cafes, and restaurants in the social district. If people jump on board, the pilot program could stick around for Poutine Week in late September.
