Ann Arbor seeking to take over four streets from the state
North Main Street, Washtenaw Avenue, Huron Street and Jackson Avenue.
"A transfer of ownership would give the city complete control over roadway design and operations, including possible automobile lane reductions, adding bicycle lanes, crosswalk and transit improvements and lowering speeds."
Apparently MDOT is on board with this?!
Consultants advise Ann Arbor to ask state for $82M if city seeks takeover of 4 roads
Ann Arbor's Transportation Commission wants to bump the bike and pedestrian infrastructure budget to 20% of the overall transporation budget, up from 5 percent.
Ooh, I bet the NIMBY's will be up in arms about that! Love to hear the city council debating it.
