Nearly 100 turn out for Royal Oak planning
Last week the Royal Oak Review attended the city’s initial meeting to discuss non-motorized planning — how to make it easy and safer for bicyclists and pedestrians in Royal Oak.
They’ve just published this article titled Pedal Power:
Mayor Jim Ellison said it was very encouraging to see all the people at the meeting and the ideas being tossed around. He said while funding is tight, having a plan is important.
Tom Regan, who helped start the movement for the city to develop a non-motorized plan, said he was happy to see the large turnout.
“What we’re demonstrating to the city officials and staff is that people in Royal Oak genuinely want these changes, and we’ll have an intelligent plan to make it happen,” he said.
If you want to stay on top of this planning effort, please “like” the non-motorized plan in Facebook.
