As the City of Ann Arbor prepares to update its Non-Motorized Transportation Plan this year (last done in 2007), it is time to not only see how much infrastructure we have built, but also how much our city's culture has changed. Here is a place to collect videos, photos, and news items that help to piece together all the wonderful things that make Ann Arbor's culture of non-motorized transportation unique and worth CELEBRATING!
For more information on non-motorized transportation in Ann Arbor please visit www.a2gov.org/WalkBikeDrive and www.a2gov.org.
If you are interested in submitting a photo to the blog, or to learn more about the blog please email kknapp@a2gov.org.
While the flame may no longer be burning in the Olympic Stadium in London, we are still left with many vivid and impressive memories and images from the 30th Olympiad. Beyond just seeing the Olympians competeing on a host of pitches and tracks, we also saw them using and celebrating the existing culture of London’s non-motorized transportation and public transit.
To see photos and to read of accounts of olympians using non-motorized transportation and public transit during the games, head on over to the New Yorker’s August 9th, 2012, article Mind the Gap (and the Gold Medal) by Lauren Collins.
