275 Bike Path

From CantonWiki

The 275 bike path is a 44 mile bike trail that runs along I-275 from Northville to Frenchtown Township. It provides a recreational and commuter trail in an area that isn't always bike friendly.

MDOT recently spent $4 million in federal stimulus money to rebuild portions of the trail. [1]
