The last time the city of Ann Arbor updated its transit plan it focused on just one form of transportation – automotive. Today city officials are looking to diversify that a little bit.
The update calls for the city to implement more comprehensive plans for an integrated multi-modal system. This means the plan will meet the needs of all transportation users, such as pedestrians, bicyclists, mass transit users, commercial trucking and motorists.
The plan includes eight goal statements and lists recommendations for short, medium and long-term investments. A significant new component in this plan is the better incorporation of transportation and land-use concerns. A more comprehensive outline of the changes can be found here.
The city recently held a public meeting on this subject that will be rebroadcast on Ch. 16. For information, send an email to planning@a2gov.org or call (734) 794-6265.
