Friends of the Border To Border Trail plan stroll through Riverside
Dec. 29, 2008 · 10:45 a.m.
Instead of going to the crowded gym, where people gather trying to fulfill their empty resolutions take a step outside and join the Friends of the Border To Border Trail for a New Years Day walk.
The community walk starts at 11 a.m. Jan. 1 at Bombadill's Cafe, 217 W. Michigan Ave., in downtown Ypsilanti.
Bob Krzewinski, a member of the Friends of the Border To Border Trail, said the 30-45 minute walk will go through Riverside Park.
“This is just a great chance to get people outside,” Krzewinski said.
Although it is not yet complete, the 35-mile Border To Border Trail will span across Washtenaw County, roughly following the Huron River.
The Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission has said it has made a serious commitment to expand hike and bike trails in Washtenaw County. According to the County’s Web site, a minimum of $10 million will be dedicated to the trail's construction during a 10-year period, which began in 2000. To date WCPARC has spent or allocated approximately $5 million to nearly 40 miles of trails and paved shoulders that have either been built or are in design development, including the Border to Border Trail.
Segments near Eastern Michigan University and Washtenaw Community College were complete over the summer.
The Friends Of The Border To Border Trail started in 2008. The group of community members organized to ensure the trail is completed, maintained and used. The next meeting of the Friends Of The Border To Border Trail will be at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12 at Bombadill's Cafe
New Years Day walk is sponsored by the Friends of the Border To Border Trail. For more information call (734) 487-9058 or visit www.bordertoborder.org.
