By BARB KUBIK The construction work that has transformed State and Liberty Streets into obstacle courses full of broken cement, loose boards, and sand-filled walkways may currently be an inconvenience to passersby, but the city has high hopes that the renovated streets, when completed, will lure more shoppers to the State Street area. The State Street Area Im- provement Program is a small part of a major city rennovation project-the Preservatin and Urban Design program. According to Susan Baker, the Engineering Coordinator for the city's program, the rennovations will "help bring Ann Arbor to the apex of its abilities and bring more people into the city." THE PROJECT planners hope to have the State Street sidewalks,, completely reconstructed by the end of November. In the spring they plan to plant trees and place benches.,; along the two streets. The city is spending $561,683 to,,, rennovate both streets. City officials: say they hope the project will pay for-. itself by bringing more people intps the shopping area. Currently, however, the construci- tion work is having an adverse effect, on some State and Liberty Street; businesses. Several storeowners.. blamed a decline in sales on the con: struction work outside their . storefronts. Others reported that while sales have not declined, they,;, have not increased either, Businesses usually expect up, to a 39: per cent increase in sales when.,. students return to the city in the fall, I0 the ann arbor film cooperative TONIGHT presents MLB 4 CARY GRANT/HITCHCOCK NIGHT GARY GRANT stars in two classic films by ALFRED HITCHCOCK, the master of suspense.
