ANN ARBOR MI -- The city and its Downtown Development Authority are partnering to open a pair of one-way streets to two-way traffic and to add bike lanes.
Work on downtown Ann Arbor’s First Street, between Kingsley and Madison streets, is expected to begin April 1 to resurface and reconfigure lanes for traffic in both directions, according to Maura Thomson, spokeswoman for the DDA. Crews also plan to add protected bike lanes to First Street from Kingsley to William streets,
The project includes a similar transformation on Ashley Street. City Council approved the agreement to share costs with the DDA on Monday, March 16.

The Downtown Development Authority will cover the protected bikeway, crosswalk enhancements, new street lights, stormwater improvements associated with the bikeway, streetscape improvements and 73% of the cost of the street resurfacing, according to the council resolution. Ann Arbor will pay for water main consolidation work, underground stormwater improvements, 27% of the resurfacing costs, 100% of the IT conduit and a traffic signal upgrade.
Ann Arbor will cover $2.4 million of the project, using the street, bridge and sidewalk millage, stormwater sewer system, water supply system, information technology service, major street funds. Work on Ashley Street is slated to begin in 2021.
The work is part of the Downtown Development Authority’s People-Friendly Streets project. The city’s first protected two-way bike lane launched in October 2019 along William Street, from State to First streets. The Downtown Development Authority in December 2019 approved a $10 million budget for another round of projects.
The next round includes "State Street and four additional streets, yet to be determined,” Thomson previously told The Ann Arbor News. Protected bike lanes will be part of discussions for the overall project, which will involve public engagement, Thomson added. A final plan will be completed in the fall.
