Built on Partnerships

The B2B is the product of an ongoing collaboration of communities and organizations who are dedicated to safe, accessible, shared-use, non-motorized recreation and transportation.

Completion of the B2B is one of the Parks and Recreation Commission's top priorities. They have made a serious commitment to develop and expand access to multi-use, non-motorized trails throughout the county.

Washtenaw County Parks has teamed up with a non-profit organization called the Huron Waterloo Pathways Initiative (HWPI) in order to expand and accelerate completion of the B2B.
