At the annual Downriver Summit Meeting many years ago, it became apparent that there was a significant need in the Downriver area to improve on quality of life issues. One of these quality of life issues raised by major employers in the area stated that families and employees need connected walking and biking paths. From there, Representative George Mans and Congressman John Dingell spearheaded the start of the Downriver Linked Greenways Initiative (DLGI) meetings to gauge the various communities level of interest. It soon became clear that local and regional interest in the development of connected, non-motorized trails was very high. Around the same time, the Detroit River had been designated a National Heritage River, making additional funding and resources available for improvements to the riverfront. After several meetings, it was evident that if the Downriver communities wanted to apply for funding for the project, a coordinated and professionally prepared plan would be necessary to illustrate the united front of the Downriver communities. To orchestrate this effort, the Downriver Community Conference (DCC) was elected to serve as the oversight organization due to their ability to coordinate the various communities. Serving in this manner, the DCC is fulfilling a service for which it was precisely set up to do more than 24 years ago. The DCC’s mission is to provide assistance to the entire downriver area because not all communities are equal in size and economic ability. Many of the Downriver communities as well as private institutions contributed funding for retaining the planning team assisting the DCC in the preparation of the plan.
