Rochester Hills adds Greenspace
A View of the Clinton River from the trail
Congratulations to Rochester Hills for their recent purchase of greenspace.
From the Daily Tribune:
The land, located east of Livernois and north of Avon, adjoins the Clinton River Trail. It was paid for with money from a 0.3-mill 10-year millage passed in September 2005 for the purpose of acquiring and preserving natural green space in the city.
The land acquisitions are to permanently preserve wildlife habitats, protect woodlands, wetlands, rivers and streams and expand the Clinton River Greenway and other trail corridors.
If not mistaken, this land is on the north side of the Clinton River Trail and contains some informal deer paths/singletrack. This land acuisition may allow public access to the Clinton River Trail from the north — a huge benefit to those of us using this trail for transportation.
This isn’t the last land acquisition so long as Rochester Hills has it’s 0.3 mill greenspace millage.
They’re inventoried all of the potential greenspace within their boundaries and have prioritized their acquisition. There is an excellent map on-line showing this.
