City Planning

We are excited to share with you that our neighborhood of Chadsey Condon (48210/48208) has been chosen by the community development advocates of Detroit to participate in a planning process to help us create a plan that will guide future development and propose a future vision for the Chadsey Condon Neighborhood. Please join us for our next planning event Thursday May 31st at SER Metro (5200 Stecker St. Dearborn, border of Detroit on Michigan Ave).

I am taking downtown on the road with a twice-monthly conversation hour!

This session we're going to do a "walk-and-talk". The DDA is considering several street projects on William, First, Ashley, and Huron; so we'll meet at Blake and make a tight circle, talking about the proposed changes and where you think the challenges and opportunities may be. Bring these and any other DDA questions you may have, and we'll take a mosey around downtown Ann Arbor as we talk!

"Like a modern-day Jane Jacobs, Janette Sadik-Khan transformed New York City's streets to make room for pedestrians, bikers, buses, and green spaces. Describing the battles she fought to enact change, Streetfight imparts wisdom and practical advice that other cities can follow to make their own streets safer and more vibrant."

Let's take to the streets of Ann Arbor through this book by a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation.

Join the Washtenaw Housing Alliance, and other affordable housing advocates, as we advocate to Ann Arbor City Council that they re-purchase the Y Lot for affordable housing! Council needs 8 votes in order to re-purchase the property; currently 7 Council members support re-purchasing the Y Lot from developer Dennis Dahlmann.

Hey Everyone,

There is an A2 City Council special session taking place this coming Monday at
which the question of whether the city should buy back the Y Lot [350 S Fifth Ave
[maps.google.com], next to AAATA bus depot] will be put to council for an up/down
vote.

JOIN US FOR LIGHT REFRESHMENTS @ 5:30 PM
EVENT BEGINS PROMPTLY @ 6 PM

What does Detroit lose when we prioritize cars over people?

Detroit has a problem: The combination of numerous surface parking lots, and insufficient transportation alternatives, has created a downtown full of holes and gaps that undermine the walkability and density the city needs to compete globally.

Join us in the parlor with urbanist and public policymaker Francis Grunow for a conversation about the REAL costs of parking.

Hosted by Chase L. Cantrell, Building Community Value
