City of Ann Arbor Non-motorized Transportation Plan 2007

Vision

The purpose of the plan is to identify the means to establish a physical and cultural environment that supports and encourages safe, comfortable and convenient ways for pedestrians and bicyclists to move throughout the city and into the surrounding communities.  It is further envisioned that this environment will result in a greater number of individuals freely choosing alternative transportation modes (walking, bicycling, mass transit, etc.), which will lead to healthier lifestyles, improved air and water quality, and a safer, more sustainable transportation system.

.

The project cost is $125,000 with the City of Ann Arbor contributing $85,000, the DDA $20,000 and the University of Michigan $20,000.
