Outdoor enthusiasts in the
Ann Arbor area now have two
new miles of paved trail to
blaze as of Saturday.
The trail will connect hikers
and bikers to the Matthaei
Botanical Gardens northeast of
Ann Arbor, Nicols Arboretum
and Gallup Park’s Border-to-
Border bike trails along the
Huron River, offering a pathway
to the Matthaei gardens that
doesn’t require a car.
Karen Sikkenga, associate
director
of
the
botanical
gardens, said in a University
press release she hopes the trail
will ease motor vehicle traffic
to the gardens, noting the
number of visitors to Matthaei
gardens has been increasing
year to year.
“Currently
more
than
135,000
visitors
each
year
carpool, ride a bike or drive a
car to get to Matthaei. The new
trail will allow them to leave
their cars safely behind,” she
said.
The new trail additionally
expands the extensive network
of motorless routes on the
northeastern edge of Ann Arbor
city and township, connecting
the
University
Hospital,
Central and North Campuses,
among other destinations, such
as Eastern Michigan University
in Ypsilanti.
The project was constructed
through
a
multi-year
collaboration
between
the
University — which houses
the trail — and Ann Arbor
Charter Township. $2.5 million
was raised for the project
through a combination of local,
county and township grants,
and an additional $800,000
raised from close to 150 local
individuals
and
neighboring
companies, including Toyota

Every Wednesday, the
Michigan Daily will be asking
a University affiliate what
the University’s Bicentennial
means to them.
“I hope what (the Bicentennial)
could be is to mark a new
chapter for many students of
color on campus. As an Arab
student, our identity can finally
be recognized on campus. It’s
been here for 200 years now —
I think it’s about time that we
are recognized on campus and
with that so many doors can
be open for us as students on
campus.”

and NSF.
Mike Moran, Ann Arbor
Charter Township supervisor,
said in the press release he was
pleased with the collaboration
between local stakeholders to
open the trail.
“It’s an excellent example of
what can be accomplished when
the township, the university,
county
government,
state
government,
local
corporate
entities
and
citizens
work
together to achieve a common
goal,” Moran said.
LSA junior Miranda Miley
was excited about the new
addition
to
the
already-
extensive network of outdoor
trails north of Central Campus.
“I think in the Arb the trails
are especially nice and I’m
really excited that there is
now a trail out to the botanical
gardens,” Miley said. “It would
be nice to have other trails that
extend out of the immediate
campus area to other places
or parks in the surrounding
areas.”
