Through Our City: A comic about the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail
Because there is more than one way to tell a story Southwest Michigan's Second Wave asked artist Simon Borst to create a graphic way of telling of the tale of the Kalamazoo Valley River Trail. He presents a story of gaps in the trail and what they mean for trail users.
Free T-shirts to the first 500 attendees, music, bike decorating and more are planned for the celebration.
The Kalamazoo River Valley Trail has been a work in progress since 1991. When it is finished it will connect to Battle Creek’s Linear Park, linking over 140 miles of regional trail in Southwest Michigan. Kal-Haven State Park Trail, and Portage Bicentennial Park Trail also will be linked to it.
Simon Borst is an artist in Kalamazoo.
