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.”
