ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Community members can now share their thoughts on the city of Ann Arbor’s Healthy Street program. The city is collecting community input through a public survey on which streets should and should not be included in the 2021 program. Implemented in April 2020 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the program closed sections of select streets around Tree Town to help residents remain safe and physically distanced while walking and cycling. For the survey, community members can tell the city which streets to include (or not) by dropping pins on an interactive map. Public input and factors such as cost, safety, jurisdiction and feasibility will be considered by the city decision-makers, according to the Healthy Street website.
