The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority is inviting the public to learn more about a connector study underway that examines the feasibility of advanced transit options connecting north and south Ann Arbor.
A public forum will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday inside the basement-level multipurpose room at the Ann Arbor District Library downtown.
Beyond improving mobility, AATA officials say connecting the north and south parts of town will enhance economic development opportunities.
During Tuesday's presentation, the study team will share some of its preliminary findings, including information on current and future travel demand, and types of transit technologies being considered, including bus rapid transit and light rail.
The connector study is a partnership project between the city of Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor Transportation Authority, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority and the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study.
AATA officials said last month they were still working on the north-south connector study to determine whether the Plymouth Road and State Street corridors should be enhanced. Mary Stasiak, community relations manager for AATA, said the connector study will provide valuable input for a countywide transit master plan.
