Complete Street moving forward across Michigan
From Lansing
We’ve just learned that the Senate Transportation Committee has unanimously passed House Bill 6151 for Complete Streets.
They did not vote on its companion, House Bill 6152. According to the League of Michigan Bicyclists, “It sounds like they simply forgot that there were dealing with a package of bills vs. just one. Charmian Gilbert said they will simply discharge the second bill to the Senate floor vs. having another hearing.”
This is great news. 6151 is headed to the Senator Floor and 6152 shouldn’t be too far behind.
Now is the time to contact your Michigan Senator and ask that they support Complete Streets and these two bills.
From Detroit
The city of Detroit Complete Streets workgroup continues to make progress towards a Complete Streets ordinance. There is now a Complete Streets page on the city’s web site where anyone can voice their support for this effort.
From Ferndale
Work is underway in Ferndale on a Complete Streets effort. We’ll share more information as it becomes available.
