ANN ARBOR, MI Several sidewalk projects were approved across Ann Arbor during Tuesday’s city council meeting.
In the later half of the year, gaps in sidewalks will be filled on Barton Drive from Brede Place to Pontiac Trail, Boardwalk from Eisenhower Parkway to Oakbrook Drive, and Stimson Street from State Street to through the end of the gap, according to a resolution.
Council also approved $50,000 from the street, bridge and sidewalk millage to finance the project.
Voters in November 2020 approved a 0.2-mill tax proposal, which will help fill sidewalk gaps and provide a funding source specifically for this work in Ann Arbor. It is expected to raise about $1.3 million annually and cost $20 per year for the homeowner with a $200,000 market value and $100,000 taxable value.
