GVMC
is responsible for planning for all modes of transportation in the
Grand Rapids metropolitan region including pedestrian and bicycle
traffic. A GVMC Non-Motorized Committee meets regularly to discuss
pedestrian and bicycle issues. The Committee is responsible for
identifying projects and priorities in the region that improve the
non-motorized transportation network.
GVMC Transportation staff works with
local communities, road providers, public transit, environmental
groups, bicyclists and the general public to help these projects
and priorities become a reality. The GVMC Non-Motorized Committee
maintains a Non-Motorized Plan which is used to guide policy and
project decisions related to pedestrian and bicycle issues. The
Plan is updated regularly to ensure that the needs of the public
are being met.
If anyone has interest
in participating on the Non-Motorized Transportation Committee,
please email
or call Andrea Dewey, Transportation Planner at (616) 776-7601.
