Huron St.<br><br>The November public meeting was prompted by several recent developments that require the city to conduct additional analysis before completing a design concept for the Broadway/Plymouth portion of the project. Those factors include:<ul><li value="1">Broadway Park West development: Additional analysis is needed to account for the installation of a center left-turn lane on the Broadway Bridge to serve the Broadway Park West development.</li><li value="2">Maiden Lane/Moore Street improvements: The city recently received funding through the federal Carbon Reduction Program to modernize and upgrade the intersection of Maiden Lane/Moore Street with Plymouth Road. The potential changes to this intersection need to be incorporated into the broader traffic analysis.</li><li value="3">Emergency access: Working with the Ann Arbor Fire Department, it was determined that the proposed bikeway cannot serve as a fire lane, adding another consideration to the design of the bridge and surrounding roadway.</li></ul>
