Ann Arbor plans to repave downtown streets, holds info meeting

Even automobiles are getting a little love in downtown Ann Arbor these days, now that the city is planning to repave a number of the city center's main thoroughfares.

The city plans to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $820,000 to repave parts of Packard, Fourth and Liberty streets this summer. Liberty and Fourth will be repaved in April and May while Packard is expected to be done shortly after Art Fair.

The impacted streets will include Liberty between Main and Division streets, Fourth between Liberty and Huron and Packard Road between Fifth and Hill. The project will also repaint bike lanes on Packard and add bump outs at Packard and Division to help pedestrians.

The city will hold a public information meeting between 3–5 p.m. Thursday in the city's Downtown Development Authority Office, 150 S. Fifth. For information, contact Elizabeth Rolla at erolla@a2gov.org or at (734) 794-6410 ext. 43636.
