MDOT is working to develop a nonmotorized transportation plan for the Grand Region to: identify opportunities to enhance nonmotorized transportation, prioritize nonmotorized investment in the region, and provide a vision for a nonmotorized network to guide public and private initiatives. A new bike map will also be provided. In June, MDOT is holding four outreach meetings throughout the 13-county region.
