E. Stadium Bridges: Next Funding Step Taken

By

At its June 6, 2011 meeting, the Ann Arbor city council authorized an $800,000 agreement with the Michigan Dept. of Transportation (MDOT) for the right-of-way acquisition phase of the East Stadium bridge reconstruction project. Previously, at its April 4 meeting, the council had accepted easements from the University of Michigan for the right-of-way phase. To be reimbursed for those easements from federal TIGER funds that the city has been awarded for the project, the council needed to authorize the agreement with MDOT. MDOT acts as the conduit through which the city receives federal funds.

In August the city council will be presented with a similar city-state agreement – for the construction phase of the project.

This brief was filed from the city council’s chambers on the second floor of city hall, located at 301 E. Huron. A more detailed report will follow: [link]
