Model D Speaker Series: Urban Mobility
Spring is here and it’s time to talk about getting mobile in the city. That means cycling and other inter-urban transit issues. Our next Speaker Series event is all about it. Check it out and sign up now.
Join us Thursday, May 26 to learn about the future of transit and cycling
in the city. Panelists include Kenneth Cockrel, Jr., Detroit City
Council; Todd Scott; Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance (MTGA);
Kelli Kavanaugh, co-owner of Wheelhouse Detroit; Robin Boyle, Wayne State University and Carolyn Helmke,
Chicago-based transportation consultant.
The program will take
place at the Wayne State University Law School at 471 West Palmer in
Midtown Detroit. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.; program begins at 6 p.m. The
event is free and open to the public. Please register here.
Anyone who comes by foot, bike or bus will receive a nifty bicycle patch
kit from Wheelhouse Detroit. It’s our little way of saying thank you
for using alternative modes of transport.
This Model D Speaker Series event is presented by Model D Media, MSHDA and Wayne State University.
