Ann Arbor City Council greenlights plot for potential new greenway park and arts center

Late last month the Ann Arbor City Council passed a resolution asking the Allen Creek Greenway Conservancy and the Arts Alliance to collaborate on making over a city-owned 2.2-acre property at 415 W. Washington between First and Third Avenues into a greenway park and arts center.
The
Allen Creek Greenway Conservancy
is an advocacy group for a multi-use greenway along the course of Allen Creek (much is now underground, except for a visible portion on U-M's golf course) from the U-M athletic complex to Argo Dam and the Huron River, accented by the city-owned floodway/floodplain parcel at 415 W. Washington.
The conservancy is in the process of applying for grants to cover the $300-500,000 estimated cost for the park portion of 415 W. Washington. This funding will not apply towards the art center component of the project, which
Joe O'Neal, a director at the conservancy,
says is the province of the
Arts Alliance
.
