Join us to discuss opportunities to improve walking and biking in Ann Arbor Township. Tell us what you value, what challenges you see, and how the Township should move forward. Feedback from this meeting—along with responses to the community-wide survey open through April 3, 2026—will help guide the recommendations in the Township’s Trail Feasibility Study, expected later this summer.

Registration is encouraged. To register for the event, please visit the eventbrite.com link here: Ann Arbor Charter Township Non-Motorized Transportation Open House. Registered attendees will be entered into a drawing for gift certificates from Wheels in Motion and Ann Arbor Running Company!

Your feedback is a crucial part of creating a more connected and active community. We encourage anyone interested in walking, biking, or sustainable transportation in Ann Arbor Charter Township to take the survey and attend the open house.

For questions regarding the non-motorized transportation plan or upcoming events, please contact Township Supervisor Diane O’Connell at planning@aatwp.org.
