The Allen Creek Greenway

2014

The idea of creating a greenway through Ann Arbor along Allen Creek has a long history that dates to 1980. The Allen Creek Greenway is a proposed pedestrian and bike friendly path located along the historic alignment of Allen Creek. The Greenway will create a safe, healthy, and sustainable transportation corridor through downtown Ann Arbor and provide an opportunity for responsible environmental stewardship of one of Ann Arbor’s oldest geological features – the Allen Creek and its surrounding floodway. Due to a confluence of public and political support, the time seems right to transform this idea into a community vision.
