6 What We Heard Key Issues & Opportunities Balance between keeping it funky and clear guidelines and standards critical Bikes and pedestrians Improve safety for both groups, make it better for bikes in the street so they are off the sidewalk Deliveries and Waste Handling Varies by area, need consistency/education, need for enforcement Large trucks (e.g. Beer trucks) can be problematic Surging demand for sidewalk occupancy in areas without adequate sidewalk space Will require careful consideration of re-allocating right-of-way uses Meeting accessibility needs for all users Some streets lack coherent character and need an clearer identity E.g. William Street, parts of Washington, Huron Need to clarify roles, responsibilities, and policies for street management, enforcement, and project implementation DDA, City, Developers, Private users, Citizens, Event planners, etc. Lots of experimenting has been in the past, need to pursue best practices Tree planters, landscaping beds, pacing materials, furnishings, etc. Framework needs to support commerce & activity and intervene appropriately Activating less used spaces vs. supporting high use 6

10 10 Ann Arbor Downtown Streetscape Framework Street Network Analysis
11 Streetscape Framework Key Considerations 11 Function / mobility Priority Capacity for autos, trucks, transit, bikes, pedestrians Accessibility (aka universal design ) Complete Streets as a network Design character and Context District uses and building form Adjacent land uses Materials, streetscaping, cultural resources, etc.
12 Framework Network Components 12 Functional elements of the networks Vehicle network Transit network Bike network Pedestrian network + environment Street activity and commerce Parking system Building uses and functions
13 Vehicle Network 13
14 Vehicle Network KEY ANALYSIS POINTS 1. Heavy traffic on pedestrian streets (e.g. Main Street, State Street) 2. MDOT Roads 3. Truck Routes: How deliveries are handled, etc. 4. One-Way pairs: navigation, business support, traffic speed reduction Residential areas feel + function like thoroughfares (e.g. 1 st Street) 14
15 Transit Network 15 AAATA Bus Routes Transit Center Bus Stops Low Boardings Boarding Count Route Count High Boardings
16 Transit Network KEY ANALYSIS POINTS 1. High bus volumes (Washington + 5 th Ave) 2. Bus heavy intersection and turning zones 3. Future high capacity bus corridors / connection? 4. Opportunity for reviving a LINK type loop route downtown 16 * Transit Center
17 Bike Network 17 Bike Network & Facilities Bike Lane Shared Use Path Sharrow Segment Suggested Bike Route Trail Signalized Intersections 4-Way Stop Sign Intersections Bike Rack Bike Locker Existing Midblock Crossing Proposed Midblock Crossing
18 State Main Bike Network Huron Liberty Washington KEY ANALYSIS POINTS 1. Limited east-west bike lane connections. William St (no facilities), Liberty + Washington (transit + many cars). Huron opportunity? 2. Bike riding and parking on congested pedestrian streets; safety issues with peds. 3. One-way streets tend to invite either wrong-way cycling or sidewalk riding 18 William S. Univ.
19 Pedestrian Experience 19
20 Ground Floor Street Characters Retail / Mixed-Use Mixed Streets 20 Office Front Office
21 Ground Floor Street Characters Institutional 21 Service Residential Parking
22 Pedestrian Experience 22 KEY ANALYSIS POINTS 1. Huron = perceptual edge of town, barrier to movement 2. Improve pedestrian connection between Main St. and Kerry Town + State St. 3. Service ( Back of House ) streets need continuity and enhancement (lights, sidewalks, etc.) 4. Street tree sites and maintenance. 5. Alleys and pedestrian corridors need safety improvements (i.e. lighting, visibility, etc.)
23 Street Activity 23 Public Space Use Sidewalk Permits Advertising Music Performance Outdoor Seating Restaurant Retail Vending cart Waiting Area # of Street Events
24 Street Activity 24 KEY ANALYSIS POINTS 1. Regularly closed event streets 2. Other event streets 3. Highest / increasing demand for sidewalk occupancy and limited sidewalk space
25 Parking System 25 Parking System Metered Streets Metered Space Meter / Space Post epark Machines Gated Lots Permit Only Lots Metered Lots Parking Structure
26 Parking System 26 KEY ANALYSIS POINTS 1. Streets to explore for alternative parking space uses 2. Off-peak parking on Huron (will improve pedestrian feeling too) (Church does this Sundays) 3. Potential for early AM parking converted to loading zones
27 Building Use 27 Building Uses Retail / Dining / Mixed-Use Office / Mixed Use Residential Industrial / Service Institutional / Public Transportation / Utility Parking Deck Open Ground Uses Parking Lot Private Open Space / Parking Public ROW Public Park / Open Space
28 Building Use Ashley Terrace (2008, 93 units) A2 City Apartments (2014, 156 units) 414 N. Main (Under Con., 16 units) 411 Lofts (2009, 96 units, 342 bedrooms) Metro Lofts (2007, 14 units) 413 E. Huron (Under Con., 208 units, 513 beds) The Varsity (2013, 181 units, 415 bedrooms) Corner House (2003, 42 units) 28 KEY ANALYSIS POINTS 1. Recent increases in higher density residential uses (2009+) 2. Pre-2009 higher density residential uses 3. Public/Institutional uses often need activation of street 4. Key commercial zones Tower Plaza Ashely Mews / Townhouses Zargon West (2012, 99 units, 200 beds) University Towers 618 S. Main (Under Con., 164 units, 195 beds) Zargon (2009, 66 units, 248 beds) Landmark (2014, 175 units, 610 beds)

30 30 Ann Arbor Downtown Streetscape Framework Street-Level Discussion
31 Critical Issue & Opportunity Streets 31 State Street Narrow sidewalk and too many demands Huron Street Auto-Focused William Multi-modal balance Character Washington Service oriented historically but transitioning
32 State Street 32 Key Issues: Narrow ROW and sidewalks lots of demand for sidewalk uses Limited parking Increasing demand for café space Pedestrians everywhere

34 William 34 Key Issues: Lack of character Frequent lane shifts / transitions No bike facilities Low light levels at night safety concerns Residential frontages
35 Washington 35 Key Issues: Back of house uses (service, parking lots, loading zones) Changing land uses (new residential developments) large pockets of inactive uses Lane shifts High volume of bus traffic
