The Macatawa Area Coordinating Council (MACC) is hosting a forum September 28th to discuss the “rights/responsibilities of motorized and non-motorized users in the public right-of-way”.

Club board member and former President, Marshall Michmerhuizen has been invited to speak on behalf of our club and represent the voice of area cyclists in this forum. This is an opportunity for the club to help educate, inform, and communicate with local politicians and the public regarding the rights of cyclists to use the roads, the hazards of cycling on the non-motorized pedestrian pathways, and ways to improve safety between motorists and cyclists. As cyclist, there is potentially much at stake regarding our rights to use the roads and our responsibilities to use the roads safely.

The MCC encourages you to lend your voice to this discussion by attending this meeting and participating in the Q&A audience portion of the meeting. The meeting takes place at the Macatawa Bank, 139 E. 8th Street in Holland, in the Community Room from 8:30am-12:00pm and will be moderated by Representative Bill Huizenga. The panel discussion is scheduled for 9:15a.m.-10:30a.m.

Please attend this meeting if you are able and show our local politicians and the public that these issues are important to you! See you September 28th!
