Bicycle and pedestrian (nonmotorized) travel is a vital part of Southeast Michigan’s transportation systems. For many communities, biking and pedestrian facilities improve quality of life for
residents and make these communities more desirable. SEMCOG is
currently working on a regional nonmotorized plan. Goals of the nonmotorized plan are: - Create an inventory of existing facilities in the region,
- Develop guidelines for new facilities,
- Address the most critical gaps within the nonmotorized corridors, and
- Create a planning resource for communities within the seven-county SEMCOG region to coordinate facilities across boundaries.
Public meetings will be held around the region to review existing paths/trails and identify locations for new projects. Here is the schedule of public meetings: - City of Detroit – Tuesday,
July 16; 4-7 p.m., SEMCOG offices, Detroit
- Livingston County – Thursday,
July 18; 4-7 p.m.; Green Oak Township Offices
