TONIGHT! Meet us at at 4:45pm before we head to the Ann Arbor Roadway Rightsizing Project meeting at Downtown!

This is an opportunity to meet city staff and consultants who are working to make our most dangerous streets safe. Many of these streets were widened during the peak-highway era, and now they account for 40% of severe crashes while only constituting 7% of roadway!

THEN: Join our monthly meeting at 339 E. Liberty, Suite 300, at 6:30pm to parse what we just learned and develop our advocacy strategy.
