Bike articles in the Metro Detroit media
Below are some snippets from recent bike-related articles around the Metro area.
Dequindre Cut extension opens Thursday
From Crain’s Detroit Business:
Local and state dignitaries plan to officially open the Dequindre Cut extension Thursday.
The trail connects the first section of the Dequindre Cut Greenway from Woodbridge Street south to Atwater Street near the William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor and the Detroit RiverWalk, creating a continuous pedestrian and bike path from the river for about a mile into the city, nearly all the way to Eastern Market.
Green Alley breaks ground
From The Detroit News:
Detroit is now a few weeks away from having its first “green alley” — an eco-friendly patch of urban infrastructure behind the two Midtown businesses that spearheaded the project.
On Tuesday, a backhoe started tearing up the concrete, which will be recycled. Last week, the city government finished relining the late 19th-century sewer line with fiberglass-reinforced poly resin. Next week begins the preparation for permeable concrete, historic brick pavers and indigenous plants that will create a better-functioning alley with a pedestrian-bicycling pathway.
Bike route to link Marine City with Ludington
From The Times Herald out of Port Huron:
A new attraction is in the works for the Blue Water Area to bring in tourists — bicycle tourists, that is.
U.S. Bike Route 20 is in the development phase, but cyclists someday might be able to use a route from Marine City to Ludington — if all goes well.
On a national scale, the goal for U.S. Bicycle Route 20 is to connect the Bluewater Ferry in Marine City with the Oregon Coast, several cycling Web sites indicate.
