Public Workshop: Ann Arbor Non-motorized Transportation Plan March 10, 2004

The City of Ann Arbor Planning and Public Services Departments will host
two public workshops for the City of Ann Arbor's Comprehensive
Non-motorized Transportation Plan.

Mark Fenton, former Olympic speed walker, pedestrian specialist, and host
of PBS's "America's Walking," will speak about the importance of walking
and bicycling to a community's vitality. Norman Cox of The Greenway
Collaborative, Inc. will discuss the current state of bicycling and
walking in the city. The meetings will be held:

Wednesday, March 10 from 7:00 - 9:00 PM at Forsythe Middle School's Media
Center, located at 1655 Newport Road (between Miller Road and M-14)

Thursday, March 11 from 12:00 Noon - 1:00 PM at the Michigan Theater
Screening Room, located downtown (on Liberty Street near State Street)

Following the presentation Wednesday evening, there will be small group
workshops to identify specific areas of concern around the city as well as
participant's visions for the future of non-motorized transportation here.
Participants in the Thursday lunchtime meeting will be provided with
mail-in worksheets so that they may provide similar input.
