Detroit Bicycle Wayfinding Guidelines

Detroit Bicycle Wayfinding GuidelinesWe recently added a project page for the recently published City of Detroit Bicycle Wayfinding Guidelines.

The intention is that all future bicycle construction projects in Detroit would include bicycle wayfinding signs. Some projects are already making such plans, including the Conner Creek Greenway, E. Jefferson bike lane project, Southwest Detroit Greenlink and the Inner Circle Greenway.

Thanks goes to the Tour de Troit for funding this project.

We’ve also added some information on directing bicyclists to bike parking. That information is also included on our bicycle wayfinding page.

New web site

We are working to replace the bare-bones starter web site that we’ve had over the past year. This new site will allow the Coalition to not only communicate better, but to allow visitors to become a member of the organization.

During the next few weeks we will be adding exciting content, especially with graphics, maps and updates on the many different bike, walk, and water trail projects we’re involved in.

The Coalition gains 501c3 status from IRS

The Detroit Greenways Coalition has received word from the IRS that we are now a tax-exempt public charity. This status is back-dated to January 22, 2013 when the Coalition was incorporated as a Michigan non-profit.

Contributions made to the Coalition are now tax-deductible, which allows us to expand our funding options. We also now eligible for other grant funding sources.

This truly is a milestone for an organization that began operating informally 8 years ago and is now ready to greatly expand its ability to realize its vision for a more walkable and more bikeable city of Detroit.
