Bike and Pedestrian Committee Meeting

The Copper Country has a well-known biking community and the Western U.P. Health Department is seeking their input on new plans for non-motorized transportation in the city of Hancock. The Bike and Pedestrian committee is taking public comments through an upcoming forum. The committee and city officials will host a public meeting next Thursday from 5pm to 7 at the First United Methodist Church. There will be a presentation followed by suggestions from those present about how to make Hancock safer and more convenient for walking, cycling and transit use. Maps and plans for existing infrastructure and proposals for new walking and biking routes will be available for viewing.
