Model D Speaker Series: Urban Mobility
Join us Thursday, May 26 to learn about the future of transit and cycling in the city. Panelists include Kenneth Cockrel, Jr., Detroit City Council; Todd Scott; Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance (MTGA); Kelli Kavanaugh, co-owner of Wheelhouse Detroit; Robin Boyle, Wayne State University and Carolyn Helmke, Chicago-based transportation consultant.
The program will take place at the Wayne State University Law School at 471 West Palmer in Midtown Detroit. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.; program begins at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Please register here.
Anyone who comes by foot, bike or bus will receive a nifty bicycle patch kit from Wheelhouse Detroit. It’s our little way of saying thank you for using alternative modes of transport.
This Model D Speaker Series event is presented by Model D Media, MSHDA and Wayne State University.

May have to excuse myself from class, depending on what will be covered.
The last event I went to on campus, titled “Eds and Meds”, also the last day I went on a bike ride on March 3rd (too long to be without a ride!), it seemed like more of a self-promo, unfortunately. Mostly what the lady from Henry Ford talked about was H.F. and herself.

My presentation will be mostly on Detroit biking projects. Carolyn will be talking about world biking trends and how they might affect Detroit.
