26 Todd Scott - Connecting Detroit Through Greenways & Mobility
What does biking infrastructure have to do with economic growth, community health, tourism, safety, and quality of life?
In this episode of Wealth Is A Choice, James sits down with Todd Scott, Executive Director of the Detroit Greenways Coalition, to discuss how Detroit has quietly become one of the most exciting cities in America for biking, running, greenways, and connected mobility.
Todd has spent decades helping transform Detroit’s trail systems, bike infrastructure, and community connectivity — helping create safer streets, more accessible neighborhoods, and a stronger sense of community throughout the region.
The conversation goes far beyond bikes.
James and Todd discuss:
• How Detroit became a national model for urban greenways
• The Joe Louis Greenway and Gordie Howe Bridge pathway
• Why connected trails improve tourism, local business, and public health
• The surprising economic impact of mobility infrastructure
• Bike safety, road design, and reducing pedestrian deaths
• Why people are rediscovering Detroit through biking and running
• The future of active transportation across Michigan
• How experiences, health, and community all contribute to real wealth
Todd also shares stories from decades of advocacy work and explains why long-term change requires persistence, collaboration, and vision.
