Central Area Plan: Amendments to Downtown PlanAmmendments refine, not replace the 1988 Ann Arbor Downtown Plan, and are meant to re-inforce rather than supercede the original plan's objectives of guiding public and private development decision-making in the 66-block Downtown Development Authority (DDA) District and the adjacent Central Area. Also addresses parking management issues and guidelines for enhancing pedestrian circulation. |
