Ypsilanti Walking And Bicycling Public Forum Planned at Corner Brewery

On Thursday, February 22nd, the Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition (WBWC) will hold a community forum on bicycling and walking in the Ypsilanti area. The session will consist of an update on future plans for bike paths, bike lanes and pedestrian areas in the City, followed by a discussion and suggestion session. Speakers from bicycle and walking groups, as well as local government staff, will be in attendance. There will also be a showing of the bicycling film We Still Ride.

At the present time a small number of non-motorized facilities are being planned for Ypsilanti, including a segment of the Washtenaw County Border-To-Border trail that will travel through the core of the City. And while the City of Ypsilanti is facing budget constraints, these projects are planned to be completed using Federal non-motorized project funds and grants from groups outside the City.

The event is free and open to the public and will be held at the Corner Brewery, starting at 7pm. For more information, visit www.wbwc.org or call 734/487-9058.
