Proposals A & B win Ann Arbor voter approval
Ann Arbor voters have approved Proposals A and B and changed the future of the downtown library site and parking lot. Proposal A passed with over 58-percent voter approval. Proposal B earned just under 58-percent. WEMU’s Kevin Meerschaert reports.
The proposals repeal the “Center of the City” plan and authorizes the sale of the Library Lane Parking Structure to the AADL for the purpose of building a mixed-use development. It’s to include a new downtown library along with housing, retail and programmable open space. Mayor Christopher Taylor says it’s a great result for the future of Ann Arbor.
The Library Green Conservancy had been behind the Center of the City initiative. President Rita Mitchell acknowledges the will of the voters. She says it’s disappointing the city continually delayed the project.
Michell says we’ll now see how the Council and Library proceed and if they can deliver on their promises.
