A NEW PATH: Robert Tetens, director of the Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission, and Eastern Michigan University President Susan Martin prepare to cut the ribbon during a public ceremony Aug. 27 to reopen the asphalt path or "rail trail" that leads between main and west campus. The 3,200-foot-path is considered a segment of the Border to Border Trail, a 35-mile running and biking pathway that connects communities, parks and educational facilities in Washtenaw County. During late July and early August, the path was repaved, widened approximately two feet and drainage improvements installed.
