The below alert from the Southwest Detroit Business Association is being passed along to show the size and comprehensive network of bike lanes that are being installed throughout Southwest Detroit:

There will be no parking today (Thursday, August 11. 2011) along the following streets to allow for the construction of the bike lanes:

• 14th St / Train Station to Bagley
• W. Grand / Toledo to Vernor
• MLK Blvd / Rosa Parks to 14thLawton to the East
• Washash to Rosa Parks
• Vernor E. All
• Vernor W. All
• Rosa Parks/Bagley (southbound)
• I-75 to Elm St
• Layfayette / Brooklyn to 10th St
• 10th to Trumbull
• Bagley / Rosa Parks to 14th St.

Construction will begin at 8:00 AM and should be completed as soon as possible. A police enforced parking ban will be in effect during this time. When constructed is completed, the parking ban will be lifted. Please make the appropriate arrangements to prevent your vehicles from being ticketed and facilitate the construction of the bike lanes.

This project is part of the Southwest Detroit Greenway that will follow West Vernor from Patton Park into Mexicantown and Corktown. The construction of these bike routes is a great investment in Southwest Detroit, enjoy them!
