As a relatively new non-profit, we could certainly benefit from donated time and products. Email us at info@detroitgreenways.org if you are interested in helping.
Current needs
We really could benefit from a Wikipedia entry for the Detroit Greenways Coalition. Even a starter page with information from our web site would be helpful. Unfortunately under Wikipedia’s rules, we’re not able to write about ourselves.

Hello,
I’m a local young professional, avid bicycler, and am interested/excited about the inner circle project. I am curious what it plans on doing while running through areas like Hamtramck. Will it just be a bike path on the street 🙁 or will you follow suite with the ” bike woodward” plan? Their plan is to make a raised cycle lane adjacent to woodward.
Frank, The design hasn’t been determined yet. However, there will likely be at least two different Hamtramck designs due to the different roads widths. Where possible, protected bike lanes will likely be called for. However, there is much less room between the Jos Campau curbs from Caniff to Holbrook, so it may just be bike lanes with traffic calming at this time. The design team working on this is one of the best in the U.S. and we’ve been very pleased with some of the preliminary designs so far. They are very progressive.
Is there map showing the plan(s) of the Detroit Greenways Coalition? If there is, how can I obtain one?
There’s no single, up to date map with all of the non-motorizing planning. We’re having discussions with the City about creating one. The City does have this map that shows projects planned through 2017. We have limited printed quantities of our Greenway Network Vision from 2009.
Do you all still need a wiki page? If so I would be interested in helping put that together. I am a med student at wayne, avid local bicyclist as well!
