The Downriver Linked Greenways Initiative began in 2000 as a result of concerns raised at the 1998 Downriver Summit hosted by Congressman John D. Dingell. Citizens, business leaders, local officials and others came together to discuss ways to improve the quality of life in the region. It is a cooperative project to create and connect open spaces throughout the region in order to enhance the appearance and recreational opportunities in each community, and provide more public access to the Detroit River. The Initiative is a regional non-motorized pathway vision for the Downriver region of southeast Michigan that will connect the 21 Downriver communities and Wayne County through a network of trails and greenways. Michigan Sea Grant has played a role in the project since its inception. Today, Southeast Michigan Sea Grant Educator, Mary Bohling, serves as co-chair of the Initiative along with Anita Twardesky, Riverside Kayak Connection Marketing Director.
