VI. New Business
A. Update on Status of Ann Arbor Road Streetscape Project
1. Status of Plans and Costs Estimates
2. Expected Timetable for Bids and Construction
Terry Croad of McKenna Associates noted the project is on schedule with plans to
request bids in August, bids to be received in September.
Details are being worked out with Kmart as to the placement of their sign. When
bids come in, final decisions can be made.
There can be 8-10 weeks of construction this year, depending on the weather and
lead time for ordering materials. They’ve been asked to begin at the
Haggerty-Ann Arbor Road intersection, proceeding to I-275. It’s likely the brick
piers, fencing and the verge can be completed this year.
Mr. Kolb cautioned against any construction mess being left in front of
businesses because of inability to complete work before winter weather.

Michael Bailey of Dietrich Bailey Associates indicated all easements have been
obtained.
He commented that a landscape plan is being provided by Don Massey Cadillac, and
Mr. Anulewicz said copies will be distributed when received.
