In order to provide the needed recreational activities currently enjoyed by the residents, the city must take an active role in the delivery of recreational opportunities to the residents. Livonia has developed this "Five Year Parks and Recreation Plan" as a useful tool to guide the development and preservation of the park facilities and programming, in a manner that is consistent with the vision statement of "creating community through people, parks and programs. This recreational plan will also make Livonia eligible for various grants made available through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). The previous Five Year Parks and Recreation Plan was adopted in 2008. Currently, the city offers over 1300 acres of recreational open space; well over the 10 acres per 1000 residents as recommended by the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA). This 2017 update includes evaluation of park facilities and programming to determine where improvements can be made. This plan is divided into separate sections that represent the planning process used in its development. In addition to this introduction the plan contains: • Community Descriution An overview of the communities current and projected social, physical and economic characteristics • Administrative Structure Identifies the entities responsible for administration of the park and recreation programs and facilities provided throughout the city. • Parks Facility and Program Inventorv: Describes the specific parks, facilities and programs that are offered through the Livonia Parks and Recreation Department. • Planning Process: Describes the participatory process by the community and other partners; process will discuss the community description, recreation inventory, public participation, analysis, action program and plan completion and adoption. • Basis for Action• Analyzes the programs and facilities and contains a description of the public involvement process used in development of the plan • Action Plan:. Identifies the plan's goals and objectives, all project and system recommendations and a 5 -year plan for investment. The Five Year Parks and Recreation Plan will be used as a solid foundation for future recreational facilities and programming improvements through Livonia; as well as continued investments and policies that will continue to support a healthy, desirable quality of life for the residents in the service area. 1 City of Livonia Five Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan Master Plan 2017-2022 COMMUNITY DESCRIPTION Located within Metro -Detroit, in Wayne County, Livonia (formally known as Livonia Township) was incorporated on May 23, 1950.

The commissions and city staff positions are outlined to describe their function and interrelationship in the recreation management of the city. Also included are the revenue and expenditure trends for the city along with volunteer groups that assist the city in providing recreational programming. Rackgrojind: The City Charter, in Section 10 of Chapter V established the Department of Parks and Recreation as an administrative department and Section 15 of the same chapter provides the following: "the Department of Parks and Recreation shall be managed and controlled by a commission to be known as the Parks and Recreation Commission and consisting of five (5) members, who shall be chosen from the qualified electors of the City to hold office at the pleasure of the Mayor. The Parks and Recreation Commission shall administer and operate all City parks, playgrounds, athletic fields and recreational facilities and equipment". Policies are determined and established by parks commission; only the commission can change policy or make exceptions to it. The Parks and Recreation Commission operate all city parks, playgrounds, athletic fields and recreational facilities and equipment. Members of the commission serve a 3 -year term; meetings occur on the first Wednesday of each month at the Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center. Parks and Recreation Department Staff - Daily operations of the Parks and Recreation Department are the responsibility of the Parks and Recreation Superintendent in Livonia. The Parks and Recreation Superintendent is in charge of 13 full-time and 300 part-time staff that monitors or maintains the parks and recreation system and programming in Livonia. Figure 1 details the organizational chart for the Livonia Parks and Recreation Department. The Parks and Recreation Superintendent is a full-time position under the general supervision of the Mayor. The Superintendent is responsible for assessing, developing and implanting all aspects of the community -wide recreation program. These items include budgeting, program development, public relations, promotion, facility and equipment needs and staff management. The Superintendent also works closely with outside departments in city government, volunteer organizations and groups. The Parks and Recreation Department is funded through numerous sources including the General Fund, fees and charges for various programs and from a 0.8 mill recreation millage. The Parks and Recreation Department has been divided into six service divisions; Aquatic Services, Athletic Services, Golf Services, Park Services, Special Events Services and Community Center Services. Aquatic Services includes two indoor pools, spa and spray ground built at the Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center, one fifty -meter outdoor pool (Botsford Pool) and one twenty-five meter pool (Shelden Park). Clements Circle Splash Park opened in August of 2016. The new twenty-five meter pool lap pool with slide and two climbing walls and family pool with a zero depth entry and water features replaced a fifty -meter pool that last operated in the summer of 2013. The Aquatic Services Division houses over 100 employees that help to promote a safe, enjoyable and educational experience through swim lessons, water fitness A City of Livonia Five Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan Master Plan 2017-2022 classes, open swim and pool rentals. The Athletic Services Division provides programming such as softball, basketball, t -ball, coach pitch, soccer, archery and tennis. The Athletic Services Division also has developed a partnership with the Livonia Civic Arena to manage Devon Aire Arena and the Eddie Edgar Arena including programming. The Community Center Services Division operates the 135,000 square foot Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center (formerly the Livonia Community Recreation Center) employing 100 employees. The center includes two indoor pools, spa, spray ground, 27,000 square feet of gymnasium space, fitness room with training equipment, indoor track, climbing wall, indoor play structure and meeting space. The center currently averages over 3,000 visitors' daily, and is in its 13th year of existence. The Golf Services Division works with a managerial firm (TJW Inc.) to staff and run each golf course. Livonia currently owns and operates three 18 -hole regulation golf courses within the city limits. All park properties are maintained by the Department of Public Works; which includes the parks foreman and maintenance staff. The Department of Public Works maintains over 1,500 acres (73 sites) of developed and undeveloped park property along with other city property in Livonia. The final division is for Special Events Services. The division is charged with developing and organizing community involvement by working with local business and community groups that provide professional input, volunteers and financial assistance. Such programs that are under the direction of the Special Events Services Division include the Tree Lighting Ceremony, Kids Day, Park IT, Father/Daughter dances, Turkey Trot, and New Year's Eve Party. Livonia Citv Council/Mavor: The City of Livonia currently operates under a "Strong Mayor" form of government; with the city council serving either a four year or two year term. The city charter vests the city council with "the power to enact all ordinances necessary for the establishment, maintenance and protection of all parks and recreational facilities." Current Funding Sources: Current funding sources are made available from the General Fund of Livonia, fees and charges collected for various programming, and from a 0.8 mill recreation millage passed in 1999. Role of Volunteers: Volunteers have proved to be extremely crucial for the success of the recreational programming for Livonia. Without the support and dedication of the citizens and community stakeholders in providing assistance to many of the recreational programming in Livonia they would not be as successful. Volunteers provide services such as coaching, referees, officials and also coordinate minor maintenance and up -keep of park properties. Some groups that work along with the Livonia Parks and Recreation Department include the Livonia Junior Athletic League, Livonia Elks Lodge, Livonia Youth Hockey Association (which currently provides programs at the Devon Aires Arena and Eddie Edgar Arena), Livonia Youth Commission, Wolverine Sport and Conservation Club, Rotary Club and Kiwanis Club. Relationships with School Districts, other public agencies or -1rivate organizations The Livonia Parks and Recreation Department previously coordinated with the Livonia Public Schools and Clarenceville Public Schools for the use of school facilities. Both school systems also work in cooperation to provide community education opportunities and programs to Livonia. The Livonia Public School District currently leases space in the Jack E. Kirksey 7 City of Livonia Five Year Parks and Recreation Master Plan Master Plan 2017-2022 Recreation Center for their gymnastics program. John Stymelski/Veteran's Park and Mies Park are long-term lease properties from the Livonia Public School District. The Parks and Recreation Department has also assisted the Livonia Public Schools during bond issues in supporting voter measures by the school board. Cooperation with public schools is an area of opportunity for expanding recreation. Besides school districts, there are other educational service providers that operate within the city of Livonia including charter schools and parochial schools. The Parks and Recreation department continues to work along with those entities to provide recreational opportunities to students as well as using school facilities in locations where properties are not accessible for residents. Along with school partnerships, the Livonia Parks and Recreation Department currently has a lease arrangement with St. Mary Mercy Hospital.

Some of the components included information about transportation alternatives, population, natural features, administrative structure, budget and organizational chart for the Parks and Recreation Department. • Recreation Inventory — The City of Livonia currently operates/owns over 60 park properties (36 developed and 24 undeveloped). The recreation inventory took into consideration all facilities that are available in the city for recreational activities. Also, a list of private businesses that provide recreational programming, neighboring community facilities, state parks, Wayne County Parks and other locations in the surrounding area that provides recreational opportunities for residents. Livonia also operates programming from its Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center (formally the Livonia Community Recreation Center); programs are listed in the City Recreation Programs. • Public Participation — City staff solicited input from stakeholders and the public through survey forms issued from June 29, 2016 to September 16, 2016 at the Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center front desk and various programs. Feedback was also solicited from social media and direct mail. The results were used to formulate draft goals and objectives. The draft plan was presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review prior to posting for a 30 day public review of the document. A public hearing will be scheduled prior to adoption. • Analysis — The survey question format is included in the appendix along with complete responses from the survey.

There are special swings ... the school playgrounds at Webster and Roosevelt have them. Perrinville had a great playground at the school ... maybe a public park in Livonia could incorporate some of those ideas... Unsure of where that is Unsure A snack bar, more workout equipment I'm not sure. Don't use facilities NA I think the center is fine as it is I would like to see full size bike paths connecting the various parks throughout the City Support for children, young adults and adults Additional opportunities that include people with with special needs so that they may participate special needs. and be included in classes, activities, etc.. Not familiar with that park so no ideas I would like to see more walking paths and the current ones under more shade Dog park would be high on my list Mom & Baby classes (yoga, mom fitness, etc.) Mom & Baby classes (yoga, mom fitness, etc.) Lower rates for residents Self-help programs for adults. More walking areas and modern play areas for the children. A better sprinkler park. My grandsons prefer the Westland park behind the police station or Heritage park in Farmington Hills. Everything is fine More playground equipment at the old hull school grounds some picnic possibly more classes for kids N/A Discount program Not sure Not sure A safe, maintained (i.e. snow removed in winter) place to run outside. better child care options Where are the special needs/adaptive programs? Neighboring cities off programs making families move out of the city to those that are more friendly to special needs community It seems to have everything there already! N/a What amenities would you like to see in the What additional recreation offerings / programs Jack E. Kirksey Recreation Center? should the city offer? Not many more amenities, however improve Cardio drumming existing issues with random kids there always trying to use basketball hoops when classes are ongoing, or hanging in hallways playing basketball. No matter how wonderful the amenities are, they can't be enjoyed with the current ongoing issues. Cheaper prices, more open swim, T -ball for 5 year olds Basketball courts would be lovely! Basketball courts outside None that I can think of. Programs ... we don't actively seek these out much. Offerings.... the parks in general have very little useful natural areas (i.e. hiking paths, trails, biking areas) and would benefit from a major rethinking. Most parks just seem to be a field with some playground equipment randomly thrown in. There is so much room that is wasted that could be better allocated. More classes teaching kids to swim. I can't get More pools in the summer. my two into a class because of waiting lists and small class sizes.

Open the pools earlier in the season and keep them open longer Also open them @ noon and leave them open until 8 pm so people can enjoy after working all day A 'downtown' area is very important to make this city at least look like it is having some heart and soul. Recreational Dance classes Focus on maintaining what we have and make them the best a city can offer; then look to add more services. To be honest I haven't been there in a while. Unfortunately, I don't have any ideas right now. But I But maybe more variety in the workout will say I enjoy some of the programs the Libraries equipment.

Lower costing fitness classes, especially for members Free for Seniors Aging reduction- entertainment I am very disappointed that golf view meadows doesn't have its own neighborhood park. We have to drive the grand -kids to Devon -Aire or Rotary park. Please add a few benches and a small kiddie play structure to the park play at 6 mile and Wayne Road.

At least one afternoon of free senior More attention to the crew at Newburgh lake. swimming. was on Committee to build- you have done a great job! Additional Comments/Thoughts: Some major streets do not have sidewalks, so if there were bike paths connecting parks and rec center Add road biking lanes to some roads to allow bikers to safely reach the 1275 path and Hines Drive I love the rec center. I wish the parking lot wasn't so full, but that's a good thing for the city. Also, I'd like to the couple's/pair for a resident's annual pass include two adults in the same household. My mom and I live together (both adults) and the reduced price would incentivize us to purchase a pass. Thanks The City has an excellent recreation program and excellent parks. Emphasis should be placed on maintaining what we have. More money needed to update parks south on 196 Na Most park conditions are meager at best. Fix it, clean it, maintain it. No Nice survey tool Really would like to place emphasis on the temp of the leisure pool. A lap pool absolutely should be cool, but a leisure pool should be warmer & more comfortable. Raising the temp by a few degrees would really make a difference. Myself, as well as others have stopped taking classes there because of it and have also recommended going elsewhere due to the temp. Most of the young adults can find nothing to do in Livonia. They then move away to more active communities. We can change that. Keep this city young at heart and maintained More control of day pass holder and rules enforcement; give 1 warning and the next you are out. I'm tired of people not following simple rules; kids running on the pool desk etc. I've complained and it doesn't change and no one wants to enforce the rules that are established for safety. It would be great for the sports programs of the UAL be given more space to practice and/or quality practice space for basketball and baseball. Maybe some new leadership needs to be found? Bicentennial could be a much better park with bathroom facilities for the back fields and better care taken with the fields in the back. Many other communities have much nicer field complexes or they are allowed to use high school/middle school fields. Thank you for all you do Need to get rid of the businesses that bring our home values down like Walmart at Plymouth and Farmington. There's not even Livonia residents that shop there and it's uncomfortable to go there. The north/south main roads are getting worse to drive on and the east/west main roads are still bad from all the traffic when 96 freeway was shut down. Need to have better roads. Make sure everyone is on the same page on the new name of the building. I am hearing it being referred to by different names. Thanks for reaching out to the community for their input! The biggest goal the City should undertake is to provide connectivity via pathways to the parks in Livonia. I do appreciate how well the parks are maintained and looked after. I feel like I've been a mini- vacation after my visits to them.... I don't enjoy the senior center but would like to see some of those activities held at the Rec Center or in the local parks. Seniors enjoy the outdoors but there is little for us during the day in Livonia. We need to get home before dark so activities should end no later than 8 pm when seniors are involved. NA Thanks for asking! Thanks for asking our opinion!!:) Regarding biking: at the very least fill in the sidewalk gaps or replace entirely with wider asphalt multi- use paths on main roads like Merriman, Inkster, and Newburgh north of 7 and south of 1-96. Right now I don't feel like there is a good outdoor place to take my daughter to bike or rollerblade in Livonia. We need more bike paths desperately and community education about sharing the road with bikes. I like bicentennial park. there should be a paved bike/ and mile marked track around it. also, in regards to the reception, why do you have a weight loss group such as weight watchers work out of there to encourage weight loss and exercise. I think some thought should go into making the rec center not a soft target. Maybe bags should be checked as people enter. It is important to keep all members and other day pass individuals safe. The rec center is Livonia's jewel. Need to keep it safe. Watch out for pre -teen "couples" in the family lockers and keep an eye on people paying to enter the center with no intention of without working out. Rumors of drug deals in the upper floor are starting. Also teens are humping each other in the pool and the lifeguards do not stop it. I am not talking about typical fun. This is gross behavior in a public pool. The leisure pool is too warm in the summer. Almost seems unhealthy. The rec center is keeping us in Livonia but these issues are making less desirable for families. Livonia is doing a great job with their parks and keeping everyone informed, active and proud to live here. With all seriousness, every time we go to beverly park my kids and other kids complain about the duck being gone. (They remember these things forever!) Its disappointing to still have a cone over the plate! But thanks for adding new woodchips and the upkeep. Its appreciated. Would like a dog park for the city and a complete walking path around Devon Aires park The LCRC is the greatest. I go there 5 times a week. Thank you to all the Parks and Rec staff for all you do for the city residents to keep it looking beautiful. Livonia does a great job of providing a variety of services and programs! Facility needs to be cleaned more often. Equipment is getting tired/old and dusty. Keep encouraging exercise and healthy behaviors. Very pleased with what Livonia offers for recreation. Keep up the good work! thanks! Would like to see more sr. citizen activities outside of the Sr. Center. I love Livonia and all it has to offer Keep up the great work! Also be sure to keep in touch with the city as they work on their Livonia Tomorrow initiative! Love you guys! NONE It's too expensive to join the rec center. The child care hours and services are not very good. If im going to spend $400 or so to join for my family I might as well join Lifetime fitness and get all the extra amenities that are included and always available. As a successful realtor I see a young homebuyers looking elsewhere because other suburbs are offering more for them and their young families. Bike lanes, breweries, family events, etc. New chain restaurants and big box stores don't attract the type of residents that will keep tax coffers full and schools scoring high. Thank you I think an outdoor ice rink given the appropriate weather could be a huge success at the right park, and with the right publicity. I would love to help with the prohect as well! Spartanky87@gmail.com - Kyle Madigan Hope to see fun stuff! Invest in quality class equipment. Replace broken and worn mats, weights, bosu balls, etc. on a frequent basis. I would like to see more creative and nontraditional playscapes. Keep nature alive, and reflected in all parks I think it's wrong to charge members for classes. And the employees never check passes just let everyone walk thru. Join up the parks as best as possible with bicycle routes, and maybe add some signage You guys do a great job keep it up Our soccer fields are one of the worst cities I've seen. We need our field to look the Farmington fields on 8 mile rd None Nature trails are great for exercise. Lets add more parks Keep parks up to date and welcoming to young adults Please consider researching why walkable cities are important. Ask yourself what makes a town have a sense of space and community. I'll tell you it's not football field parking lots and strip mall encrusted neighborhoods. Livonia may be quaint and quiet, but it shouldn't be at the expense of the people's ability to come together. A splash pad like Farmington Hills has, as in FREE and NOT connected to the rec center, would be amazing. I would take my kids 3 times a week! BIKE LANES. AN ACTUAL CUTE LITTLE DOWNTOWN. Livonia is hemorrhaging residents and you guys have your heads in the sand None I can think of. Love Livonia, grew up here and moved back last year to raise my children here. I'm an Health/PE Educator, so I can really get behind this survey. I would also volunteer in many ways to continue the Livonia way I'd love to learn more about what's available in town! Make a more central downtown, walkable with large sidewalks 12' and bike lanes. Restrict vehicle lanes to one all directions on 5 mile and Farmington and make it 25 mph With on street parking. So we can enjoy our amenities by city hall instead of getting killed getting a book or ice cream! At the very least, the Lyndon B Johnson National Historical Park needs to be better maintained! We need a downtown Northville and or Plymouth but in Livonia, tear down Kmart add some grass and a pond the builders will come We also need a downtown. We need to stay family friendly and offer kid friendly activities Thank you Livonia for asking my opinion. Make rec center offerings less expensive Love Livonia, but I wish we were in the Smart transit system Quit allowing Ijal football to park on both sides of Berwick St. at Benteley field. I've seen an ambulance not even be able to get through. Also hold them accountable for more trash cans and get some on the Berwick St. side of the field. Garbage everywhere all the time during football season. Music in the park on Fridays! ! ! More events in the city during the summer. Get more art into the city, a sculpture park would be nice. Would love a walkable downtown, Plymouth, Northville, Farmington type. Good opportunity to get input from residents No Great community. I have lived in Livonia since high school and are now raising my two boys here. I'm Good Appreciate the work of the Planning Director (Mr. Taormina is great), Planning Commission, City Council (glad to see Scott Bahr get on) Mayor Wright and the list goes on and on. Na None I cannot say enough about Livonia Parks and Rec. Along with the smaller schools, we chose Livonia over Canton largely due to the wonderful parks and rec programs and the family friendly community. We really love Livonia. In addition, Amy Walker is like a breath of fresh air and she is making huge improvements in the programs and is really an asset to the city. We are very lucky she is working here in Livonia, she always goes above and beyond! Not sure Repave the walking trail at Mies Park. Plant more trees at the park by Sheldon Pool. Lived in Livonia all but three years of my life moved back because I love Livonia and I want to keep families here. Definitely need more walking and biking paths/dedicated lanes through the city. Don't decrease any green space! Thank you! City has done a wonderful job keep it up I'd love to see bicycling more strongly accepted and encouraged in Livonia. Going to Europe and many large city's bicycling is huge! Riding my bike around Livonia I get screamed at by drivers and find myself feeling like there is nowhere safe for me to ride. 96 area is the biggest problem. Hines is a great place to ride and it'd be awesome if Livonia created a bike lane or some kind of path connecting to Hines. It would be really great and would enrich many citizens' lives. Livonia is great! It could improve by adding an outdoor/fitness vibe with walkable and bike -friendly trails from the south to north, east to west, and all throughout the city. More bike routes. The inner track at the Rec, is breaking apart, (cracking) most predominantly at the corners. Need to view it on an angle, not looking straight down at it. Minimum, the inner ring of track needs to be replaced. We are glad we live in Livonia. Thank you. Please keep the green spaces. How do we not have one outdoor basketball court in our park system? I've always thought the city should install a drinking fountain at Bicentennial, along the sidewalk, between the 2 soccer fields west of the Fox Creek entrance. It could be used for soccer and the MANY walkers and runners along the north side of 7 Mile. Please, I'd rather give my money to Livonia to entertain my special needs son than Canton!!!! N/A Help those with special needs. As a previous caregiver, the small things are HUGH. Your parks are all well taken care of I just LOVE all the Livonia parks, it was one of the selling points when we decided to buy a house here. I love that I can turn down just about any random street and before long come across another park. It's amazing! You are already doing a wonderful job. I'd say in general: more trees, more community events, and more teenage activities0 Keep up the good work! They need better ventilation in the pool area. Chlorine smell is VERY strong. The family rooms need to be cleaned more often The bathrooms at the outdoor pools need to be redone as well as some of the things inside the rec center. Real money needs to be invested. I would also like to see a community garden added somewhere Thank you for asking!! No I used to be a member of the Rec center, but as it got more and more busy, it was tough to find a workout machine regularly. I opted to go to a gym that offered more. I also was always disappointed that the Rec Center wasn't able to offer more evening workout classes for those of us that work 9-5 and can't be there at 10:OOam on a weekday. There were lots of classes I wanted to, but simply couldn't, take. NA Developing a connected system of parks will improve all of the parks. Denmar needs to have a hiking trail through it that is more accessible and not just a random wooded area. Our recreational opportunities should be actively inclusive and strive to involve people with special needs and their families in the planning of what is actually needed. I love walking my dog but I am older and walking in the grassy areas is harder. That is why I would love to see additional paved paths. With the population of Livonia, I am surprised there is no dog park in the city. There are plenty of locations. It would also help bring in additional $$ to the city for dog licenses. The dog park in Hines Park is not very good and not maintained well. Livonia parks are great, especially for adults. The play areas for children need to be updated. Especially Devonaire and Sheldon parks. More benches at parks. Put a bike path through hull schools land My son is currently in the playground program and loves it. Lower membership prices for rec center Livonia needs to look at other cities and try to cater towards families. The rec center is not enough. No I take a few classes at the Rec center and although I love the idea of fixing and improving things outside in the parks, I really wish that you would be just as concerned with the equipment inside... I take cycle and the entire class agrees that we should just start bringing in our own tools to fix the seats and other issues... If it wasn't for the awesome instructor we would just take ourselves to planet fitness. Unfortunately, she won't come:( I don't mean to be difficult but I just wish it didn't take trying out 4 bikes before I can find one that is functional. See my previous comment on offerings. Redesign the parks to better include nature. This would better utilize space, reduce maintenance (less lawn mowing), and provide more diverse "park" activities. There is a lot of unused open space in many of the parks. Acres of just grass and often is it not well mowed. I would suggest planting more trees for shaded areas and increase in wildlife. Create an 18 to 24 -hole disc golf course similar to Kensington, Independence lake or Hudson Mills offering. I love the city of Livonia. Need a downtown area We love Livonia! The Rec center is not family friendly. Parents and children can't be in different places at the same time. There is a lot that kids are told they can't do without a parent. I love the Recreation Center. I think it is a great thing for the city. Every visitor I have brought has been super impressed with it. I loved last year's New Year's Eve party, too. Clement circle is nice for children but you need a pool open for people who swim for exercise I recently moved to Livonia from Europe. I was shocked to find out this city of 90+ thousand inhabitants doesn't have a downtown area and doesn't have any public transportation. It's such a pity! There is great potential here - a lot of green space, people seem to be nice. But this place misses a bit of 'heart and soul'. It misses a walkable area, some streets with nice shops and cafes, some cozy small flower gardens with benches, patios to meet friends and enjoy the summer evenings. I wish there is something that the public administration could do about that. When did the Livonia Rec Center become the Jack Kirksey Rec Center? If tax payer dollars were used to build the center, tax payers should vote on the name. This may be off topic, but I think overall the parks are okay. It's the transportation system that needs help. We need a public bus system for everyone, not just the SMART one for seniors and disabled people. Livonia is great at helping the older community but not so much with young/middle aged adults like me. I'm 30 and unfortunately I have health and transportation issues but that don't qualify me as disabled. I use my bike when I can but a bus system would greatly help me with my shopping (I barely get out once a month) and help me get a job farther away. Thank you for listening to my feedback. I am proud of Livonia service for seniors. Special events are appreciated. The city of Livonia does really well providing services for seniors. Senior center for our exercise and bingo, Speaker, trips and gatherings at a well reasonable price. We thank you for that. I only would have love Jack Recreation when my children were growing up. Has lived 58 years in Livonia. APPENDIX C: 0� 0 co � co U � 0 U) # J 00O J N l>QJVd V `Z 1..1.
