Huron/Hamilton/Washtenaw Lane Reduction

When Huron, Hamilton, and Washtenaw were last designed, the City was seeing an increase in traffic; a decrease in people walking, biking, and taking transit; and the majority of people who lives and worked in Ypsilanti worked regular 9-5 jobs (or other standard shifts), which led to predictable traffic jams as people left work and shifts changed. Today, these same roads are seeing more bicyclists and walkers, and fewer "shift change" pressures, leading to roads that are wide open- leading drivers to greater speeds, despite more pedestrians attempting to cross and the same number of driveways and side streets. In order to improve the safety of these roads, the City is working with MDOT to evaluate the potential to change one of these streets' three lanes to a bicycle lane.  Please spread the word to your friends, and join us at an upcoming public input session!

  • City Council heard an update on the technical feasibility study on September 10th in Council Chambers, as part of their regularly scheduled meeting- see the report here!

Parks Plan

The City's last Parks Plan was adopted in 2020, and much like the Master Plan, we're obligated to update it every five years.
