    ! CITY OF ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 301 E. Huron St., P.O. Box 8647 ! Ann Arbor, Michigan 48107-8647 www.a2gov.org www.a2gov.org/subscribe ! www.facebook.com/thecityofannarbor ! www.twitter.com/a2gov! ! SPRING 2014 Ann Arbor Station Environmental Review The Ann Arbor Station, located at 325 Depot Street, is the busiest Amtrak station in the State of Michigan, and served nearly 160,000 passengers in 2013. The Amtrak Wolverine service, operating between Pontiac and Chicago, currently stops at the station six times per day (three trains in each direction). Future plans for enhancements will improve on-time performance, decrease travel times by 10-20%, and potentially lead to significant increases in ridership. Additional train trips are also planned for the corridor. The Ann Arbor Station Environmental Review study represents a new opportunity to examine the station and how it will function in the future. Building from the City’s Transportation Master Plan (adopted in 2009), which placed a high priority on enhancing the railroad passenger station and developing an intermodal facility, the study will evaluate options for improving accessibility and accommodating anticipated increases in ridership. Options could include improvements to the existing station site or finding a new station location in the City of Ann Arbor. This study has been initiated to provide the citizens of Ann Arbor with the best information to make a decision. In the end, voters or their representatives will decide whether a new train station or improvements to the existing

What Came First?...the Tall Building or the Urban Habitat? Robert M. Lau, Associate Editor, CTBUH, Chicago USA [email protected] Jon DeVries, Director, Marshall Bennett Institute of Real Estate, Roosevelt University John F. McDonald, Professor of Real Estate, Roosevelt University Abstract This paper will examine the question, 'Did the Tall Building produce urban density or did the Urban Habitat of CBDs, with the creation of urban transit/transportation systems and stations that allowed the daily movement of large numbers of workers, produce the density that took the form of Tall Buildings'. Case studies, beginning in the late 19th century up until our present 21st century, will be discussed. Since the latter half of the nineteenth century, Tall Buildings have been built to provide a supply of useable space in small areas at locations that are in great demand. Certain locations are in great demand because people are more productive in some activities when they are located in close proximity.

  • SOUTH LOOP RISING South Loop Rising After Languishing for Decades As a Bleak Landscape of Warehouses and Rail Yards, Chicago's South Loop Is Afire
    CHICAGO MAGAZINE / JUNE 2007 / SOUTH LOOP RISING South Loop Rising After languishing for decades as a bleak landscape of warehouses and rail yards, Chicago's South Loop is afire. Condo sales are booming, big-box stores are blossoming, and chic restaurants are laying out the welcome mat. Add the lakefront, the Museum Campus, and a rich history to the mix, and is it any wonder the South Loop is not just the city's but the country's hottest neighborhood? DENNIS RODKIN Main Story >> From Congress Parkway to Cermak Road, one of the country's most dynamic urban neighborhoods is taking shape. Over the past decade, Chicago's South Loop has reinvented itself as a vibrant collection of homes, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Faces of the South Loop >> Meet the people living and working there. Cost of Living >> Learn about options for housing in the South Loop Goin' South—Walking the South Loop >> Take a lively walking tour to see the changes for yourself. 1 Main story (page 1 of 3) When David Loiselle and Lindsey Bailey decided to buy a home last year, they explored several North Side neighborhoods close to downtown. But as the two roommates looked around, they kept thinking about how much they always enjoyed visiting some friends who lived in the South Loop. “I mean, it’s not close to downtown,” Loiselle says. “It is downtown.” After pricing properties in various neighborhoods, Loiselle and Bailey found that the South Loop easily edged out the North Side contenders. For approximately the same price, Loiselle says, they could get 750 square feet in Wicker Park but 1,100 in the South Loop.
