Look at the great things happening for our friends in Ann Arbor! They will need lots of volunteers, if you can lend a hand.

From Common Cycle: "We are beyond thrilled to be accepting a Sustaining Ann Arbor Together grant from The City Of Ann Arbor – Government today! With the award of $10,000 from the city, Common Cycle will be able to significantly increase our impact in our community.

With this support, we’re eager to launch New Wings for Old Bikes – an expansion of our pilot bicycle donation and distribution program, with a focus on supporting social service agencies in the region.

We’ll collect used bicycles from the general public and U-M students and have them evaluated and refurbished by apprentices from the community under the guidance of Common Cycle volunteer mechanics at our workshop. Refurbished bikes will then be donated to social service agencies for their clients or offered through earn-a-bike opportunities to individuals in need (by volunteering with Common Cycle). Bikes unfit for restoration will be salvaged for parts and used for instructional purposes at the PEAC – Programs to Educate All Cyclists in Ypsilanti or responsibly recycled.

We’re so excited about this new growth phase, and now more than ever, we need people power! So, if you like working on bikes or you’d like to learn those skills, come join us in our efforts.

Ypsilanti Roads City Council Working Session – Tuesday, June 11th

The public is invited (and especially those interested in making the City a better place for pedestrians, the disabled and cyclists) to attend a City Council working session this Tuesday on roads in the City, including non-motorized aspects. As explained in a recent Mayor’s newsletter, “Work sessions are intended to generate a sense of the wishes of Council to help guide staff for next steps. Generally, votes are not taken; it’s more like a lightly guided discussion with staff and public present.”

Guidance for non-motorized improvement by City Council not only comes in the form of the City Non-Motorized Plan (cityofypsilanti.com/256/non-motorized-transportation-plan-2010), but also a Complete Street ordinance (www.cityofypsilanti.com/DocumentCenter/View/285/Complete-Streets-Ordinance-PDF) The Complete Streets ordinance requires that that when streets are rebuilt they must take in account all users, including the disabled, pedestrians and bicyclists.

The City Council working session will be held at City Hall, 1 South Huron Street, will start at 7pm, and have a public comment period. An agenda can be viewed at cityofypsilanti.com/AgendaCenter/ViewFile/Agenda/_06112019-1235 … See MoreSee Less
