Ann Arbor's Nixon traffic circle, Arb sewer projects win awards

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 | Source: Concentrate
Who says local government does everything wrong? Two infrastructure projects in Ann Arbor have won awards from the Michigan chapter of the American Public Works Association.

The first project singled out for applause is the traffic circle at Nixon Road and Huron Parkway on the city's northeast side. The second is a storm-water-improvement project at the Arboretum and Harvard Drain.

"The Huron Parkway & Nixon Road Improvements Project was only one of the two forwarded on to the APWA National Office for competition at that level," Glenn Chinaware, spokesman for the Michigan chapter of the American Public Works Association, wrote in an email. "Not all APWA State awards are forwarded/endorsed for National Competition."

Both projects hit the six mandatory criteria for the awards. That criteria include use of good construction management technique, safety, community relations, environmental impact and unusual/adverse conditions impacting construction.
