    Rep. McCann offered the following concurrent resolution: House Concurrent Resolution No. 41. A concurrent resolution to urge the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) to pursue bicycle friendly policies by providing for bicycles on board trains and bicycle parking in future station plans. Whereas, An efficient, modern, transportation system is a pillar of a healthy economic climate and vital for Michigan's future. All modes of 21st century transportation infrastructure should be made accessible to modern travelers, whether tourists or commuters. Seamless multi-modal connections are essential to facilitate tourism and to allow greater mobility for bike commuters and those without cars. Bicyclists should be able to switch between transportation modes and link trips by bringing bicycles on trains without having to check them as boxed luggage. Bicycle tourism and commuting would be further accommodated with short and long-term bike parking at Amtrak stations. Unfortunately, Amtrak does not allow bicycles on board Michigan routes at this time and bike parking is not always available; and Whereas, Amtrak's routes out of Chicago, the Downstate Illinois Service and Missouri River Runner, offer roll-on bike service; the option to bring bicycles on board, either by storing bikes on board in bike racks, or secured as checked baggage with tie-down equipment (not in a box), and allow folding bicycles on board as carry-on baggage. All three of the Michigan Amtrak routes, The Blue Water, Lake Shore Limited and Pere Marquette lines, use the same equipment as Chicago area trains and would only have to update the reservations system to allow bikes on board in Michigan; and Whereas, Bicycle tourism is a booming industry and many Michigan bike tour events are located in or near cities accessible by Amtrak service.

    North Lake Shore Drive Phase I Study * * * D R A F T * * * 1.0 Purpose of and Need for Action The North Lake Shore Drive (NLSD) study corridor extends approximately seven miles from Grand Avenue to Hollywood Avenue. See Exhibits 1 and 2 in Appendix A. The corridor is comprised of the eight-lane “Outer Drive“ boulevard and the parallel two to four-lane “Inner Drive” local access roadway that is variously named North Lake Shore Drive, Sheridan Road and Marine Drive. The Outer Drive is designated as US 41 from the south study limit to Foster Avenue, where the US route designation continues west on Foster. The Outer Drive between Foster Avenue and the northern terminus at Hollywood Avenue is an unmarked State route. The Outer Drive is on the National Highway System which consists of roadways that are important to the nation’s economy, defense and mobility. North Lake Shore Drive is located primarily within Lincoln Park which is a 1,200-acre regional park dating back to 1860 that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since its inception, NLSD has been a heavily used transportation artery in the lakefront corridor and it has evolved into an important multi- modal facility. It is a major north-south corridor through the city as it provides regional connectivity between the north and south suburbs as well as a link to the central business district. Today, the corridor carries as many as 161,000 cars per day as well as 970 Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) buses with 69,000 passengers per day along the Inner and/or the Outer Drives as shown on Exhibits 3 and 4 in Appendix A.

This document highlights many important events that have occurred in the evolution of railroad transportation in Michigan. This document was originally published to help celebrate Michigan’s 150th birthday in 1987. A number of organizations and individuals contributed to its development at that time. The document has continued to be used by many since that time, so a decision was made to bring it up to date and keep the information current. Consequently, some 28 years later, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has updated the original document and is placing it on our website for all to access. As you journey through this history of railroading in Michigan, may you find the experience both entertaining and beneficial. MDOT is certainly proud of Michigan’s railroad heritage.
