MARQUETTE, MI— The City of Marquette is holding a public input session regarding e-bikes and multi-use paths this week.
Hosted by the E-Bike and Multi-Use Path Task Force, the session will include a presentation from city staff focused on current and upcoming transportation planning efforts. Afterwards, the task force will take public comment. It’s hoping to hear from residents about their experiences, concerns, and priorities regarding e-bike use in Marquette and about the city’s multi-use path network. The public comment portion will follow the city’s standard format, with a three-minute limit per speaker.
The session will be held Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at the Citizens Forum in Lakeview Arena.
The task force was created this summer by the City Commission and tasked with evaluating issues related to e-bike usage within the city, as well as the varied uses of the city's multi-use path. The group has planned several public meetings during the coming months, and while all meetings are open to the public, the August 28th meeting is planned as a community kickoff to help shape the group’s work in the months ahead.
Those who prefer to share feedback in writing can email clerk@marquettemi.gov. The city has also created an online questionnaire to gather community input for review and consideration by the task force. That questionnaire can be found here.
