Border To Border - Ypsi Support Resolution Help

[Bob Krzewinski]

One thing I want to do over the winter is to try and have pretty much all City of Ypsilanti neighborhood associations pass a resolution that seeks completion of the B to B trail through Ypsilanti.

The resolution, which is below, has two purposes. It would be used to convey a sense of the community to government bodies to complete the Ypsi segment, and second, be used as support documentation to obtain grants and other funding.

 

Is there anyone then that lives in the City of Ypsilanti and could could present this resolution for passage at their next neighborhood association (for a listing see http://www.ypsicopac.org/neighbor.htm and http://www.ypsicopac.org/sites.html)? I will hopefully be able to attend the meeting, or if not, supply documentation and handouts. This resolution has already been approved by the Prospect Park Neighborhood Association (my own) and hopefully in the next week by the Ypsilanti Downtown Association and Ypsilanti Downtown Development Association.

 

If so, if you could get back to me at wolv...@yahoo.com, it would really be appreciated.

Resolution In Support Of The Border To Border Trail In Ypsilanti

 

 

Whereas, the Border to Border Trail, when completed, will span across Washtenaw County, roughly following the Huron River. The pathway will connect communities, parks, and educational facilities, and be approximately 35 miles in length. In addition, other facilities, such as bike lanes, will connect into the Border To Border trail, helping create a larger non-motorized network in the County, and

 

Whereas, the Border To Border Trail would be a major recreational, and non-motorized transportation, source to the residents of the City of Ypsilanti, and

 

Whereas, the Border To Border Trail could bolster the local economy by bringing to the community bicyclists and walkers who would visit local businesses, such as restaurants and various merchants, and

 

Whereas, while the City of Ypsilanti is undergoing financial restraints, funds for the completion of the Border To Border Trail through the City may be available through sources outside the City

 

 

Therefore Be It Resolved that we fully support the completion of the Border To Border Trail though the City of Ypsilanti, and urge that local government bodies place a priority on such a project.

 

Be It Further Resolved that we support the efforts of local government entities to obtain grants and other external funding to complete the Border To Border Trail
