Southeast Michigan Greenways

Overview

Southeast Michigan Greenways is a vision for a regional greenway network for Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties.  It responds to the urgent need for action to identify and preserve regional greenway opportunities before they disappear. Guided by public involvement, the project has developed a bold vision that calls for the creation of a network of greenways - a network that is easily accessible to 4.5 million people.  Beside creating the vision, Southeast Michigan Greenways addresses the practical matters needed to implement the vision.

The following are specific maps for each of the seven counties.  On the left is the Greenway Inventory Map that documents existing, planned, and potential greenways based on public input in 1993 and 1994.  On the right is the Greenway Vision that illustrates what the greenway network could look like for each county.  The Vision is based on the inventory work and additional public input meetings held it in 1996 and 1997.
