Input sought on Ann Arbor's new Fuller train station concept

What's planned for the proposed Fuller Road transit station and what people want to see there will be at the center of a public meeting scheduled for next Thursday, Sept. 17.

The city and University of Michigan are spending nearly $500,000 to create conceptual plans for a new railroad-centric mass transit center on Fuller Road near University of Michigan Hospital. The new station would facilitate everything from bicycles and pedestrians to bus and rail lines.

The Fuller Road transit station would replace surface parking lots at the intersection of Fuller and Maiden Lane. It would connect the Border-to-Border Trail, AATA buses, the proposed Detroit-Ann Arbor commuter rail line, Chicago-Detroit high-speed rail line and bus rapid transit/streetcar line to downtown.

This project is part of the Ann Arbor Connector Feasibility Study - a study that would call for creating a crescent moon-shaped line for either streetcars or bus rapid transit system or enhance bus service.

The city is holding the informational meeting at 3-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. in the City Council chambers of the City Hall, 100 N Fifth St. For information, contact Eli Cooper at ecooper@a2gov.com or (734) 794-6000, ext. 43710.
