View this email in your browser Pauline Blvd Improvements Public Meeting The City of Ann Arbor is hosting a public meeting on Thursday, Oct. 12, 2017 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Slauson Middle School about infrastructure improvements on Pauline Blvd, including non-motorized transportation improvements. The City of Ann Arbor is in the final planning stages for a construction and resurfacing project on Pauline Boulevard, from East Stadium to Seventh, scheduled for Spring 2018. The stakes are incredibly high as to whether or not three key blocks of Pauline will see bike lanes. The original City plan recommended parking over bikes. Rumor has it, the City is now considering bike lanes. Either way, cyclists need to show up in force. We need cyclists attending the meeting to demand that the City prioritizes bicycle infrastructure to create a viable network. The Bicycle Alliance sees this as a pivotal moment in setting precedent for future projects in the City of Ann Arbor. We need you to join us at this meeting and make the bike community's voice heard. A group of us will be meeting at Kerrytown at 5:15 to bike together down to Slauson together. Help make this community a better place to bike! Bike Train Details and RSVP Bike Tour: Art Around Ann Arbor Join us for a leisurely guided bicycle ride, with stops along the way to learn about outdoor art sculptures. Bring your bicycle (in working condition), wear comfortable clothing, water to drink and any snacks desired. The entire ride is 6-8 miles over the course of 2.5-3 hours.
