FW: Rochester-area open space presentations

[Todd Scott]

Hi Everyone

The Day for our Open Space presentation at Rochester Hills has been changed to Wednesday, February 19th. 7:30 PM at 1700 Hamlin Road (the temporary home for Council Meetings during construction). This will eliminate the conflict with the Clinton River Watershed Council's program on Stony Creek on the 26th, at Oakland Township Hall.

The Rochester presentation is still scheduled for Monday, February 24 at 7:30 PM at 400 Sixth Street. Hope to see you at one or both presentations.

Hello Trail Users & Enthusiasts,

Those of you who are interested in the Clinton River corridor through the
greater Rochester area should plan to attend one of two presentations being
made over the next two weeks. The presentation is the result of a year-long
effort to explore the greenway opportunity of the Clinton River and the
Clinton River Trail corridor of open space through the City of Rochester and
the City of Rochester Hills.

A series of public workshops collected input from residents and users. The
corridor's potential for natural beauty, recreation, historical preservation
and water resource protection was studied.

The result is a vision and visual presentation of a greenway corridor known
as The Clinton River Way. A multimedia presentation will be made by Dr.
Gary Russi, President Oakland University; Jerry Carvey, Rochester Hills Land
Preservation Task Force; and Bill Potere, Greater Rochester Chamber of
Commerce.

The public is invited to view the presentation when it is made to the City
Councils at their regular sessions:

Wednesday, February 19, 7:30 PM, Rochester Hills City Council. 1700 Hamlin
Road (between Crooks and Livernois)

Monday, February 24, 7:30 PM, Rochester City Council. 400 Sixth Street.

This promises to be a very interesting and informative presentation. I hope
to see you there.

From Dan Keifer, Clinton River Watershed Council:
...on the Rochester area greenway project, we are taking the next step and more participants are welcome...and needed. We meet again 7:30 AM on 3/13, at Roch Hills Env Ed Center, west of Livernois on Avon. It's a follow through of the Russi/Carvey committee, and Jerry wants to get 4 sub committees going on action/implementation plans: recreation, natural resources, historical, water resources. Come on out if you can find the time.

The land they want to preserve would likely support additional trails.
