Fwd: Michigan’s Avenue Focus Group: Cyclists

[Tim Potter]

For anyone who's able to attend this focus group meeting re: The Vision for Michigan’s Avenue this evening.

I'm planning to attend it and will do my best to report back to the committee.

You'll note that I was forwarded this info. last Friday by Matt from the LMB.  They did invite Pat Kelley but he must've been on a bike tour somewhere.

Good afternoon all,

 

We at the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission are in the process of developing a new and - ideally, final - Michigan Avenue corridor study and would like to invite you to a focus group specifically geared toward cyclist groups.

 

As you are likely aware, several studies have been completed regarding Michigan Avenue over the years. While we will be utilizing the results from past studies, this study takes a more technical approach by assessing what is feasible for transportation needs and identifying short-term implementation opportunities (transit, pedestrian, bicycle, vehicles, and emergency services), and combining this with a longer term direction for future growth and economic development desires. This study, The Vision for Michigan’s Avenue, will ultimately serve as a unified, collective vision that all asset owners along the corridor (cities of Lansing and East Lansing, CATA, MDOT) and community members and stakeholders can agree upon. 

 

We greatly appreciate having your input and insight into needs along the corridor. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out! 

 

Please RSVP at your earliest convenience; refreshments will be provided. If you are unable to attend in person, let us know and we will provide a Zoom link.
