Watershed must be studied to determine best way to deal with stormwater

City of Ann Arbor
If nothing else, replacing impervious surface here would help infiltration rates. Unfortunately, this location is not a good site for the skate park as it needs good access and parking, plus additional amenities to serve kids and families, which are already available at Vets.
The additional imprevious surface area at Vets should be compensated for with additional stormwater detention on site — if not, then the city is not folowing its own regulations, which is totally inappropriate.

Since money for conservation and environmental projects is extremely scarce it should not be spent willy nilly on plans like 721 North Main that may have little benefit compared to other environmental or conservation proposals. Environmentalists can not operate on the basis that there is unlimited free money out there and Environmentalism becomes compromised when it is put forth as a smokescreen for NIMBYism and advancing personal self-interests
