East Lansing Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Survey

Overview

The City of East Lansing has partnered with a consulting firm, MKSK, to help create a new Non-Motorized Transportation Plan. As part of this process, the City would like to collect your ideas, concerns, and priorities related to pedestrian and bike safety, connections, and opportunities. Please note that this plan does not include Michigan State University's campus property, but will still closely consider existing and future connections to campus.

Please visit the project website here for more information, give feedback on the interactive map, and to get updates on upcoming events.
