Volunteer Cleanup Event
 The bike lanes and sidewalks along St. Aubin Street near Eastern Market need some TLC. This route, also known as the Hamtramck Connector, is part of the planned Inner Circle Greenway, too.
On Saturday, April 8th from 9am to noon, we’re going to give St. Aubin a makeover in partnership with the City of Detroit and with help from GFL (Green for Life), Meijer, and the Polish American Historic Site Association.
We need volunteers to help us remove debris and vegetation from the bike lanes and sidewalks. Please register if you can attend.
Volunteer sign in is at the St. Albertus parking lot on the northwest corner of Canfield and St. Aubin.
Greater Downtown Area Bicycle Network Plan
The City of Detroit is hosting a couple meetings this month regarding updates its non-motorized plan from 2005. The goal is to bring a world-class bicycle network for Detroit’s greater downtown area. These public meetings are a chance for you to preview their work, ask questions, and provide feedback.
- April 12th, 5:30 am to 7:30 pm
- April 13th, 9:00 am to 11:00 am
Both meetings are at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, 315 E. Warren Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201
The official flyer for the event is on our shared drive.
Quick Survey on Biking in Detroit
People for Bikes is conducting a national survey that only takes less than 10 minutes. The feedback will help determine city rankings in a new PlacesForBikes rating system. They expect to “identify the best places for bicycling today and recognize those that are improving the fastest.”
Take the survey
Typically, national organizations do a poor job evaluating cities like Detroit for bicycle friendliness due to the data they use. This may be an opportunity to get a more accurate review. We’ll find out when the city ratings are released in fall 2017. |
