  • Healthy Street Pilot Projects
    ANN ARBOR HEALTHY STREET PILOT PROJECTS Summary of Findings January 14, 2021 Prepared by SmithGroup 1 HEALTHY STREET PILOT PROJECTS City Council passed R-20-158 “Resolution to Promote Safe Social Distancing Outdoors in Ann Arbor” on May 4, 2020. This resolution directed staff to (among other things) “develop recommendations and implementation strategies on comprehensive lane or street re-configurations (and report as soon as possible concerning these recommendations and strategies), including the possible cost of such options, the research conducted, and public input received, and other relevant data.” In response to this directive, City and Downtown Development Authority (DDA) staff gave a presentation on recommendations on June 15, 2020 along with two accompanying resolutions: “Resolution to Advance Healthy Streets in Downtown” and “Resolution to Advance Healthy Streets Outside Downtown.” These resolutions were passed by City Council on July 6, 2020. On August 27th the Ann Arbor DDA and the City of Ann Arbor began installing a series of healthy street pilot projects in the downtown area to provide space for safe physical distancing for bicycle and pedestrian travel. These projects, with the approval of City Council, reconfigured traffic lanes to accommodate temporary pedestrian and bicycle facilities, such as non-motorized travel lanes, two-way bikeways, and separated bike lanes. The pilot projects discussed in this report include the following locations: • Miller/Catherine Bikeway (from 1st Street to Division) • Division Street/Broadway Bikeway (from Packard to Maiden Lane) • S. Main Separated Bike Lanes (from William to Stadium) • State & North University Bikeway (from William Street to Thayer) • Packard Bike Lanes (from State to Hill) • East Packard Project (from Platt to Eisenhower) The pilot projects were designed and implemented in alignment with national guidance, City policies and plans, and the DDA’s adopted values for the People-Friendly Streets program.

  • Shinola Case Study
    by Matthew Fisher & Blodwen Tarter Shinola: What’s Next for a Brand Linked to Detroit’s Manufacturing Heritage? Martin Digger had recently applied for a job at Shinola, the Detroit-based company that manufactures consumer products ranging from watches to bicycles. He was excited about the possibility of returning to his hometown to use his new marketing degree as a brand assistant. To prepare for his interview, he walked to the closest coffee shop, ordered an extra-large coffee, and opened his laptop to review the history of the firm and Shinola’s products. He was glad to see that the articles overwhelmingly praised the company. According to the Shinola website, Of all the things we make, the return of manufacturing jobs might just be the thing we’re most proud of. Shinola is founded in the belief that products should be well-made and built to last. Across a growing number of categories, Shinola stands for skill at scale, the preservation of craft, and the beauty of industry.1 Those values resonated with Martin and his hopes for both Detroit and his own work. However, Martin paused when he came across one article that was critical of the firm. Shinola’s entire presence is predicated on its ties to the City of Detroit. The justification for the cheapest men’s watch being $550? For bicycles that cost a minimum of $1,950? American manufacturing costs more. Quality materials cost more. American products are inherently worth more. Like buying a pair of Toms helps some poor Third World kid, by buying a two thousand dollar bike you’re doing your part to help rebuild a fallen American city.
