ANN ARBOR, MI — A holiday tree planted by local residents on a city-owned parking lot in downtown Ann Arbor is drawing mixed reactions, including complaints to the city.
While some welcome the five-foot Douglas fir planted and decorated last week on the Fifth Avenue Library Lot, ceremonially marking the start of the future Center of the City park and commons, multiple people have filed formal complaints, reporting it via the city’s A2 Fix It app.
“Someone has illegally placed a Christmas tree on city property,” one person with the user name “City of Ann Arbor Neighbor” wrote, reporting it as unwanted “graffiti” on public property and adding, “please remove.”
