Talked to some seriously impressive MI advocates who shared their blueprint + some very good and concrete tips for fighting highway expansions. (Spoiler: get to know your MPO!)

. @MichiganDOT plans to turn I-375 into a giant surface highway (up to 9 lanes wide!) while cynically calling this a "Reconnecting Communities Project". Detroiters are pushing back - please read and sign their open letter here:

.@A2GOV I don't think we should ask people to wear bright clothes during the day just to walk or ride a bike on our streets and stay alive. Let's not feed into the narrative of victim blaming. a2gov.org/departments/engine…

On May 1 we put back up our bike counter on the Division bikeway in Ann Arbor and see a large increase in southbound traffic. It's likely attributed to the completion of the nearby Catherine/Miller bikeway last Nov that increased the bikeway connectivity.

Bosses in the Dean's & Provost's office have bullied & cajoled dpts into fabricating grades for students of striking workers.
This is beyond the pale.
@UMich is throwing all professional integrity to the wind. They are playing a dangerous game & risking their accreditation.
ALT Email from a department chair saying that the Provost and College are 'requiring' them to submit grades. They add that "none of us are doing this willingly". "any students with outstanding grades will receive an 'A'."
We are looking for people riding e-bikes in the Detroit metro area to complete a 20-min survey to help us gain insights on how to elevate e-bicycling in the area. Participants will also have a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card. Link to survey: tinyurl.com/c7k9c9uc
