Novi’s draft non-motorized master plan
The city of Novi has posted the initial draft of their non-motorized master plan.
The City of Novi is now poised to take its bicycle and pedestrian facilities, policies and programs to the next level. This document, funded by the Federal Energy Efficiency Block Grant program, lays out a systematic way to support non-motorized transportation.
It is anticipated that the environmental changes will result in a greater number of individuals choosing walking and bicycling as their preferred mode of transportation for many local trips. These choices will lead to healthier lifestyles, improved air and water quality, and a more energy efficient and sustainable transportation system.
We haven’t had a chance to fully review the plan, but it looks very impressive so far.
This plan and more will be discussed at their Walkable Novi Committee meeting this Thursday at 6pm. The meeting is at the City of Novi Administration Building, 45175 West 10 Mile Road.
The meeting originally scheduled for 1/20/2010 has been moved back a week to January 27th.
