Eastern U.P. Regional

Non-Motorized Transportation Plan

 and Investment Strategy

 

EUPRP&DC has initiated a two-year planning effort funded by the Michigan Department of Transportation. The purpose is to develop a comprehensive, regional Non-Motorized Transportation Plan and Investment Strategy for Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac Counties. The end product can be used by the Michigan Department of Transportation and local officials to prioritize projects, identify funding sources and guide investment in the region's non-motorized transportation system. 

 

Identification of priority projects within this area will help guide MDOT's investment in the region's non-motorized transportation system. Local community and citizen input is crucial to the success of this planning effort. State, county and local officials in the region, non-profit organizations and interested citizens with an interest in the non-motorized trail systems are invited to participate in this 2-year long process.  This survey is one of the first steps to collect public input. 

 

We will also be holding a series of meetings starting in the fall of 2008 and into 2009 within the tri-county planning region.

 

• The first meeting will be a Regional Trails Summit/Kick-off Meeting.
• Next, there will be 3 or more meetings - at least one in each county to identify potential future non-motorized projects
• A series of sub-regional working committee meetings/public input sessions to gather feedback on the draft
• Final regional meeting to present the completed plan.
