The Holland/Zeeland Green Commute Week is now in its 11th year! The week-long event encourages members of the community to commute “green” at least twice within the week. So try walking, biking, riding the bus, or instead of driving alone, we encourage carpooling! NEW this year, we’ve also added telecommuting and driving a fully electric car! These personal actions have the ability to improve our air and strengthen our bodies!

This event is for everyone. Individuals and groups, we also have an employer commute challenge and a school competition!

Be sure to check facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates!

The Downtown Holland Traffic Study Committee invites you to attend its second open house/input session. Learn about recent study activities and provide feedback on various alternatives being considered as part of the study. Alternatives include the conversion of existing one-way streets to two-way traffic and enhancing non-motorized/pedestrian movements and facilities.

The MACC will be conducting road-stream crossing inventories on Friday, May 18, 1:-4:30pm. Volunteers will meet at the Fillmore Township Hall office, form teams and head to several locations nearby. Inventories include taking measurements of the road, the crossing and the stream. All equipment will be provided, but volunteers are welcome to bring their own mud boots or waders. No experience necessary. Each team will be lead by a trained team leader. This activity is for ages 18 and up. All volunteers are required to sign a waiver and release of liability form. RSVP to Kelly at kgoward@the-macc.org or 616-395-2688. The event will be postponed or canceled if river conditions are unsafe.
