The Michigan Daily — michigandaily.com
City
Council
unanimously
passed a resolution to enthusiastic
applause Tuesday night approving
funding for improvements to the
pedestrian crossing on Fuller Road
outside Huron High School, where
a high-school student was hit by a
car and killed on his way to school
in October.
Ann
Arbor
residents,
and
the citizen’s advocacy group A2
Safe Transport, have frequently
expressed frustration over the
city’s slow progress on pedestrian
safety. A school safety report
released by the city administrator
earlier this month—weeks after
planned release time—did not
contain crosswalk evaluations or
cost estimates as it was supposed to.
Ann
Arbor
resident
Kathy
Griswold, a member of A2 Safe
Transport, said the resolution did
not provide sufficient protection for
pedestrians.
“This would be a perfect example
of what not to do if you wanted to
create a safe crosswalk,” she said.
“Engineering 101, you would fail if
you did something like this. This
has three lanes of traffic, no refuge
island and, until recently, no street
lighting. We deserve better.”
The
original
text
of
the
resolution called for the installation
of a Rectangular Rapid Flashing
Beacon on Fuller Road, and
approved the $50,000 toward
its
construction,
which
City
Administrator Howard Lazarus
estimated would be needed. RRFBs
allow
pedestrians
to
activate
flashing lights on crosswalk signs
before crossing, alerting drivers to
their presence.
Councilmember
Chuck
Warpehoski (D–Ward 5) proposed
an amendment to the resolution
during the meeting, however,
adding the option to install another
type of crossing device if deemed
appropriate by city staff. The
amendment passed unanimously.
“I believe that this is a crosswalk
that merits some sort of active
beacon,” he said. “An RRFB is one
of those most frequently deployed;
I think it would make sense that
that would be the most likely one
we would see. But we have other
beacons in our community — we
have a HAWK beacon, for example,
over by the YMCA on Huron Street.”
High-Intensity
Activated
Crosswalk Beacons are elevated
above
the
roadway,
whereas
RRFBs are posted on the side of the
roadway. Councilmember Zachary
Ackerman (D–Ward 3) pointed out,
though, that HAWK beacons cost
approximately $200,000 each —
four times more than an RRFB.
Warpehoski said if city staff
determined
a
HAWK
was
necessary, City Council would find
the money for it.
“In terms of the question of
a HAWK, or if there were more
expensive treatment identified
by the staff, I would trust staff
to understand that we see this
as a priority to be expedited, and
if they need additional funds
to come back to us for those
additional funds,” he said.
Councilmember Jane Lumm
(I–Ward 2) responded to a memo
Lazarus sent Monday to City
Council requesting to delay the
resolution, saying there was no
valid reason to.
“Administrator Lazarus sent us
a memo last night that mentioned
a couple concerns related to this
resolution that I’d like to speak
to,” she said. “While Mr. Lazarus
did not mention his concerns
when we met Thursday I do want
to address and explain why in
my view and the view of many
residents, there is no valid reason
to delay this action. The memo
suggested we should wait because
the exact location of the crosswalk
is still being reviewed. That’s fine.
But it’s not a reason to delay this
resolution.”

Billionaire businessman Dan
Gilbert has proposed a building
at the historic J.L. Hudson site
in downtown Detroit. The 734-
foot tower, a few feet taller than
the Renaissance tower, would be
the tallest building in Michigan
if erected.
Detroit’s Downtown
Development Authority
approved Gilbert’s plans
Wednesday morning. Gilbert
has until Nov. 1 of this year to
get finances in order and then
construction will begin in
December.
The proposed mix-use
development will be 52 stories
tall and include 250 units of
residential living, a market and
two floors of retail and office
space. It is estimated that the
building would cost more than
$700 million.
Gilbert and his real-estate
firm Bedrock own nearly 90
properties in the Detroit area.
This project is of particular
importance to Gilbert and
many Detroiters because of its
historical significance.
The site was home to the
former Hudson’s department
store, until it was demolished
in 1998. A website has been
launched for the new building,
Bedrock’s hope for the site.
“This new, transformational
development will rise from the
two-acre site of the former J.L.
Hudson’s Department Store,”
the website reads. “It will be a
catalyst for returning the once-
commercial heartbeat of the
city to an economic engine once
again.”
