The acronym A2D2 is NOT from the Star Wars trilogy, no really... It actually stands for the Ann Arbor Discovering Downtown, the Planning Commissions project for future development in our downtown area. Several public-comment sessions have helped shape the outcome of future downtown developments ... Now it's your turn to speak up!Tonight at 7:00 pm at City Hall, the public will have the opportunity to weigh in on future downtown zoning plans. Unresolved issues that will be discussed include whether:
- to introduce and implement height restrictions on new downtown Ann Arbor buildings,
- to move forward with a method to influence the size/shape of tall buildings (Hopefully Superman can still leap them in a single bound!),
- to adopt "less active building" regulations to exclude slow foot-traffic storefronts on ground-floor levels along key streets,
- the currently approved plan provides adequate transition areas between neighborhoods and dense "core" areas...
So speak up - Power to the people. Let's make the future downtown Ann Arbor area a place we will continue to use and enjoy for decades to come!
