In this paper we study homotopy type of certain moduli spaces of metric graphs. More precisely, we show that the spaces $MG_{1,n}^v$, which parametrize the isometry classes of metric graphs of genus 1 with $n$ marks on vertices are homotopy equivalent to the spaces $TM_{1,n}$, which are the moduli spaces of tropical curves of genus 1 with $n$ marked points. Our proof proceeds by providing a sequence of explicit homotopies, with key role played by the so-called scanning homotopy. We conjecture that our result generalizes to the case of arbitrary genus.
