The meeting will take place inside the council chambers at city hall, 100 N. Fifth Ave. This is the fourth public meeting on the project, which will be completed in two phases in the coming years.

At the upcoming meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to view further developed sketches and plans of the design, continue discussions from past meetings with the design team and express support, concerns or feedback on the proposed project.

The first phase of the project, which will include facilities for buses and bicycles, is estimated to cost $43 million. A new Amtrak train station is planned to be built in a second phase, which would cost another $30 million to $40 million.

One of the major elements of the first phase is parking for 1,000 vehicles — a net increase of about 750 spaces on the site. The University of Michigan is paying for 78 percent of the total project costs, as it would use the majority of the parking spaces near the U-M hospital.

The project site is located in the vicinity of an existing surface parking lot south of Fuller Road, and east of the Maiden Lane and East Medical Center Drive intersection.

Originally planned for a May submission to the Planning and Development Services Unit, city officials say the collaborative project between the city and U-M is now scheduled for submittal in June.
