SEMCOG joins the State of Michigan and trail partners across Southeast Michigan in wishing you a happy Michigan Trails Week (Sept. 19 – 26). Trails are key to connecting communities as well as providing people with access to transportation, recreation, health benefits, and many unique regional assets.
As seen in the image above, SEMCOG recently stopped by the Lawrence Tech extension of Southfield’s City Centre Trail, which also helps to illustrate how trails support placemaking and economic development.
