Vision

*** Reimagine Washtenaw awarded $2.6 Million Grant ***

In 2009, the City of Ann Arbor, Pittsfield Township, Ypsilanti Township and the City of Ypsilanti worked with residents, business owners and community leaders to complete a
report laying out their vision for Washtenaw Avenue.  In 2010, these communities in partnership with local and regional transportation agencies drafted an Implementation Strategy to achieve this vision.

 

This process included a number of public meetings, a survey and tools on this website to solicit feedback from the community.  Please let us know your vision!
