The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority has picked
DLZ Michigan
to handle the architectural and engineering work for the new Blake Transit Center in downtown Ann Arbor.
The Lansing-based firm will design the new facility and work with the construction firm, which has yet to be picked, while it's being built.
AATA
plans to raze the current Black Transit Center at 331 S Fourth Ave and replace it with a bigger facility that will facilitate mostly busses.
About 5,000 bus riders pass through the station each day on a transit system that has doubled its ridership in the last 22 years. The new transit center will be designed to include an interactive public lobby/waiting room with a capacity of 60-75 people, information kiosks, a concession space, expanded public restrooms, a public board room accommodating 60-75 guests, a computer room, an improved employee lounge area and additional facility storage space.
AATA estimates the project will cost between $2.7 and $3.7 million. Design work is expected to begin in June and the new center opened within the next 20 months.
