Parks and Recreation still needs your comments. Please help the city plan for future parkland and recreational improvements and Take this short survey (new window). This is part of the process of creating the 5-year recreational plan required by the Michigan DNRE. Your comments will greatly assist in setting the goals and objectives for the next five years, and depending on your comments, far into the future. You do not need to be a city resident to take the survey.

NOTE: I serve on Traverse City’s Parks and Recreation commission. We are a group 7-volunteers that work with staff to advise the city commission on issues about city parkland and recreational opportunities. Last week we held a workshop where participants reviewed a draft of goals and objectives and played with park maps to see where improvements could be made. I’ll review that meeting later this week.

Your responses are greatly appreciated.

“Thoughts On My Bike” by filmmaker Andrea Dorfman begins: “when I’m out in the city, riding my bike, my adrenaline rushes as I start to take flight…” and continues to illustrate, with words and drawings, the thoughts that many of us have had when we are out in the world and wandering under the influence of the bicycle.

She made this  film for the 2009 NYC Bicycle Film Festival.

Dorfman also teamed with poet/songwriter  Tanya Davis on a popular short, “How To Be Alone” making the social media rounds.
