Sharing roads with big trucks isn't always safe or comfortable for those walking & biking. Detroit's new truck restrictions in Southwest Detroit could help. https://t.co/37M8pFNps5

"The study showed that climate—even frosty winters, scorching summers and ample precipitation—is not a major barrier to high walking and biking rates. In fact, some of the world’s most bike-friendly cities are windy and rainy." https://t.co/BC3902x3HE

Federal Transit funding may remain in the next Transportation bill. House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee Chair Graves said, "It's been there for 40 years & I want this to be a bipartisan bill.” Non-motorized infrastructure? Still unclear. ($)

The feedback was, ‘Restore the site to its natural state and provide passive trails.’ Future trails will go through the rest of the zoo area and then connect to the existing trail system. #BelleIsle ($) https://t.co/s3i4eLk5SR
