Miller Avenue to Be Resurfaced and More
The poor condition of the pavement on Miller Avenue in Ann Arbor is the primary impetus behind the project, which could include many other improvements.
There was grumbling among some residents before the meeting even started: “They’re going to do what they’re going to do, it’s already a done deal.”

Construction on the project could begin as soon as 2010, but far more likely is a 2011 start, according to project manager Nick Hutchinson, who’s a civil engineer with the city.
