Michigan Trails & Greenways Alliance

Now that the engineering team’s draft recommendations are complete, Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance will kick off the last round of public input on May 31, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Nankin Mills County Park on Hines Drive. (address for Nankin Mills is 33175 Ann Arbor Trail, Westland).  This event will coincide with the regular “Saturday in the Park”  event along Hines Drive, in which motorized traffic is prohibited so that bicyclists and pedestrians can enjoy full use of the parkway.  MTGA will have a tent on alongside the parkway where the public may view the recommended improvements and weigh in with their suggestions for the final report.  For more on this event, click here.
