Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members

bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Telecommuting and the Gig Economy
bull National increase in contract employees leading to many remote work opportunities
bull See results of those shifts with businesses serving needs of those employees like Workantile and Cahoots
bull Both a benefit and a challenge as work commuting patterns change and spaces are used differently
bull Future question for this program and the DDA is in how to effectively encourage connections for this type of employee to the transportation system that allows for nonmotorized or shared trips6

Whereas The DDA has worked diligently to operate maintain and repair public parking facilities to meet its mission to encourage downtown vibrancy and private investment since 1992
Whereas Parking revenues are the primary source of funding for DDA parking system operations and maintenance in addition to 20 of gross revenues transferred to the City
Whereas At its January meeting both the Operations and Finance Committees recognized the need to modify parking rates and put forward a proposed set of parking rate changes that would begin on April 1 2018 and end on July 1 2022
Whereas Rate changes recommended by the Operations and Finance Committees utilize parking demand management principles including the following
Annual changes to make increases more predictable Increase the differential cost between on-street and structure hourly parking as a way to encourage parking in the garages thus making on-street parking more available for customers Decrease the differential cost between structure hourly parking and structure monthly parking permits to encourage a reduction in the number of people on the permit wait list Standardize monthly parking permit prices across the parking system

Ms Miller reported that the team had met with the City Forester and MDOT recently to elicit their feedback on these early design alternatives including using larger trees in the streetscape design and parking on-street at all times except during rush hours MDOT conveyed that they will be reviewing proposed design alternatives based on a traffic growth projection 6xrsquos greater than assumed by WATS which will impact the project such as limiting the extent of time on-street parking may be permitted MDOT will also require City Council to indicate their support for non-rush hour parking it was agreed that the CIC will put forward a DDA resolution urging City Councilrsquos support for this and other key elements with the goal of supporting the value of making the street more pedestrian-friendly It was noted that DDA staff will be presenting an update about this project at the March Transportation Commission meeting and it was recommended that the Commission also be asked to approve a resolution urging City Council support Project Updates 5thDetroit Ms Miller said that focus group meeting will be held to provide in-depth construction phasing information to stakeholders in the FifthDetroit Street area and to provide contact information so the City and DDA can be contacted about concerns and questions once construction begins likely as soon as weather will allow Sidewalk repairs Ms Pollay asked that a future Committee agenda include an opportunity for Committee members to weigh in on whether to replace much of the brick in the walking area of sidewalks along N Main and Washington Streets as a way to reduce maintenance issues The DDA had approved the design for these sidewalks several decades ago so she welcomed input on whether it made sense to significantly modify the design to make more of the sidewalk concrete versus brick Budget FY19 Ms Miler shared the portions of the proposed FY19 budget that included funds for capital improvements projects and asked Committee members to let her know if there were any questions It is anticipated that the DDArsquos proposed FY19 budget will be voted on by the full board at its March 7th meeting Public Comment None Next Meeting The Committee will meet on Wednesday March 21 2018 at 1100 am at the Downtown Library The meeting adjourned at 100 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Ms Miller reported that the team had met with the City Forester and MDOT recently to elicit their feedback on these early design alternatives including using larger trees in the streetscape design and parking on-street at all times except during rush hours MDOT conveyed that they will be reviewing proposed design alternatives based on a traffic growth projection 6xrsquos greater than assumed by WATS which will impact the project such as limiting the extent of time on-street parking may be permitted MDOT will also require City Council to indicate their support for non-rush hour parking it was agreed that the CIC will put forward a DDA resolution urging City Councilrsquos support for this and other key elements with the goal of supporting the value of making the street more pedestrian-friendly It was noted that DDA staff will be presenting an update about this project at the March Transportation Commission meeting and it was recommended that the Commission also be asked to approve a resolution urging City Council support Project Updates 5thDetroit Ms Miller said that focus group meeting will be held to provide in-depth construction phasing information to stakeholders in the FifthDetroit Street area and to provide contact information so the City and DDA can be contacted about concerns and questions once construction begins likely as soon as weather will allow Sidewalk repairs Ms Pollay asked that a future Committee agenda include an opportunity for Committee members to weigh in on whether to replace much of the brick in the walking area of sidewalks along N Main and Washington Streets as a way to reduce maintenance issues The DDA had approved the design for these sidewalks several decades ago so she welcomed input on whether it made sense to significantly modify the design to make more of the sidewalk concrete versus brick Budget FY19 Ms Miler shared the portions of the proposed FY19 budget that included funds for capital improvements projects and asked Committee members to let her know if there were any questions It is anticipated that the DDArsquos proposed FY19 budget will be voted on by the full board at its March 7th meeting Public Comment None Next Meeting The Committee will meet on Wednesday March 21 2018 at 1100 am at the Downtown Library The meeting adjourned at 100 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Whereas The DDArsquos Development Plan highlights identity infrastructure and transportation as overarching strategy areas which include improving safety and economic vitality through pedestrian improvements
Whereas In July 2016 the DDA began work on Huron Street improvements and in November 2017 finalized the project boundaries as Third Street to Division Street
Whereas Public input has called attention to concerns including fast moving traffic and an uncomfortable and unprotected experience walking along and crossing the corridor
Whereas Transportation options have been studied to address these concerns further informed by best practice solutions crash and speed analysis and discussions with City and MDOT staff
Whereas Recommended transportation elements have been formulated to include bull Non-rush hour parking to provide a substantial buffer for pedestrians on Huron Street
sidewalksbull A permissiveprotected left turn phasing for the westbound left turn at the Huron and Fifth
Avenue intersection to reduce conflicts between left turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street
bull Restricted right turns on red along the corridor to prevent vehicles encroaching into the crosswalk before turning
bull A fully signalized intersection at Third and Chapin to provide clarity for pedestrians and motorists using the intersection addressing concerns from vulnerable users at the YMCA and Lurie Terrace and implementing near term Treeline Trail elements
bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

Whereas The earliest EPark machines have reached the end of their life cycle and must be replaced and an additional purchase of machines will complete the metered parking system installation for a total purchase of 150 machines
Whereas The DDA wishes to purchase and use the same brand of equipment as previously deployed for ease of customer use and because that brand of equipment was selected after a competitive bid in the summer of 2016
Whereas The selected bidder is offering the equipment for the previously bid price
Whereas The project cost for this installation is estimated to be $13M including the cost to purchase approximately 150 metered parking pay stations ($1104850) 348 space markers ($115000) as well as a contingency ($45000)
Whereas The Operations Committee recommends approval of this project

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members

bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Telecommuting and the Gig Economy
bull National increase in contract employees leading to many remote work opportunities
bull See results of those shifts with businesses serving needs of those employees like Workantile and Cahoots
bull Both a benefit and a challenge as work commuting patterns change and spaces are used differently
bull Future question for this program and the DDA is in how to effectively encourage connections for this type of employee to the transportation system that allows for nonmotorized or shared trips6

Whereas Parking revenues are the primary source of funding for DDA parking system operations and maintenance in addition to 20 of gross revenues transferred to the City
Whereas At its January meeting both the Operations and Finance Committees recognized the need to modify parking rates and put forward a proposed set of parking rate changes that would begin on April 1 2018 and end on July 1 2022
Whereas Rate changes recommended by the Operations and Finance Committees utilize parking demand management principles including the following
Annual changes to make increases more predictable Increase the differential cost between on-street and structure hourly parking as a way to encourage parking in the garages thus making on-street parking more available for customers Decrease the differential cost between structure hourly parking and structure monthly parking permits to encourage a reduction in the number of people on the permit wait list Standardize monthly parking permit prices across the parking system

Ms Miller reported that the team had met with the City Forester and MDOT recently to elicit their feedback on these early design alternatives including using larger trees in the streetscape design and parking on-street at all times except during rush hours MDOT conveyed that they will be reviewing proposed design alternatives based on a traffic growth projection 6xrsquos greater than assumed by WATS which will impact the project such as limiting the extent of time on-street parking may be permitted MDOT will also require City Council to indicate their support for non-rush hour parking it was agreed that the CIC will put forward a DDA resolution urging City Councilrsquos support for this and other key elements with the goal of supporting the value of making the street more pedestrian-friendly It was noted that DDA staff will be presenting an update about this project at the March Transportation Commission meeting and it was recommended that the Commission also be asked to approve a resolution urging City Council support Project Updates 5thDetroit Ms Miller said that focus group meeting will be held to provide in-depth construction phasing information to stakeholders in the FifthDetroit Street area and to provide contact information so the City and DDA can be contacted about concerns and questions once construction begins likely as soon as weather will allow Sidewalk repairs Ms Pollay asked that a future Committee agenda include an opportunity for Committee members to weigh in on whether to replace much of the brick in the walking area of sidewalks along N Main and Washington Streets as a way to reduce maintenance issues The DDA had approved the design for these sidewalks several decades ago so she welcomed input on whether it made sense to significantly modify the design to make more of the sidewalk concrete versus brick Budget FY19 Ms Miler shared the portions of the proposed FY19 budget that included funds for capital improvements projects and asked Committee members to let her know if there were any questions It is anticipated that the DDArsquos proposed FY19 budget will be voted on by the full board at its March 7th meeting Public Comment None Next Meeting The Committee will meet on Wednesday March 21 2018 at 1100 am at the Downtown Library The meeting adjourned at 100 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FUNDS AND PARTICIPATE IN A BIKE SHARE PARTNERSHIP
Whereas The DDA participates in a number of downtown transportation initiatives in support of its mission Whereas Bike share provides important transportation benefits to downtown including connectivity tofrom transit and encouraging a park-once solution Whereas The current bike share program has been in place in downtown Ann Arbor and University of Michigan campus since 2014 and has functioned appropriately but has not met the communityrsquos desire to move closer to being a self-sustaining program as many others are around the country Whereas The DDA was asked to join with AAATA University of Michigan and City of Ann Arbor in a partnership to continue the Ann Arbor bike share program but under the management of AAATA using an agreement with a term of July 1 2018 through June 30 2019 which may be renewed on an annual basis through 2024 with the written assent of all the partners no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the agreement Whereas AAATA the City the University and the DDA have been asked to provide the following funding for program operation for FY19
AAATA $50000 (in-kind) City $50000 University of Michigan $100000 DDA $50000
Whereas An important goal for the year will be to jointly select a new program operator and should this operator generate program fares and sponsorship that allow for a greater recovery of costs the financial contributions from the AAATA City University and DDA shall be reduced proportionally to that cost recovery Whereas The DDA Operations Committee has considered this question and recommends approval of $50000 and the DDA participation in this bike share partnership in FY19 RESOLVED The DDA approves $50000 for FY19 for bike share in partnership with AAATA the City of Ann Arbor and University of Michigan RES Bike Share Partnership 030718 March 7 2018

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second

elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

DDA staff investigated the installation of ldquoLicense Plate Recognitionrdquo (LPR) equipment in the parking facilities to capture parking patron license plate data in an attempt to collect a data base of where downtown visitors are coming from by their zip codes What we learned was that the State of Michigan does not allow the license plate data base to be used for such a purpose The other idea was to try and get parking patron zip codes from credit card usage Since the parking operator is only allowed to store the last four digits of the credit cards it was learned that there is no way to get the zip codes from that data either

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Whereas An important goal for the year will be to jointly select a new program operator and should this operator generate program fares and sponsorship that allow for a greater recovery of costs the financial contributions from the AAATA City University and DDA shall be reduced proportionally to that cost recovery Whereas The DDA Operations Committee has considered this question and recommends approval of $50000 and the DDA participation in this bike share partnership in FY19 RESOLVED The DDA approves $50000 for FY19 for bike share in partnership with AAATA the City of Ann Arbor and University of Michigan RES Bike Share Partnership 030718 March 7 2018

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

11
Ms Miller reported that the team had met with the City Forester and MDOT recently to elicit their feedback on these early design alternatives including using larger trees in the streetscape design and parking on-street at all times except during rush hours MDOT conveyed that they will be reviewing proposed design alternatives based on a traffic growth projection 6xrsquos greater than assumed by WATS which will impact the project such as limiting the extent of time on-street parking may be permitted MDOT will also require City Council to indicate their support for non-rush hour parking it was agreed that the CIC will put forward a DDA resolution urging City Councilrsquos support for this and other key elements with the goal of supporting the value of making the street more pedestrian-friendly It was noted that DDA staff will be presenting an update about this project at the March Transportation Commission meeting and it was recommended that the Commission also be asked to approve a resolution urging City Council support Project Updates 5thDetroit Ms Miller said that focus group meeting will be held to provide in-depth construction phasing information to stakeholders in the FifthDetroit Street area and to provide contact information so the City and DDA can be contacted about concerns and questions once construction begins likely as soon as weather will allow Sidewalk repairs Ms Pollay asked that a future Committee agenda include an opportunity for Committee members to weigh in on whether to replace much of the brick in the walking area of sidewalks along N Main and Washington Streets as a way to reduce maintenance issues The DDA had approved the design for these sidewalks several decades ago so she welcomed input on whether it made sense to significantly modify the design to make more of the sidewalk concrete versus brick Budget FY19 Ms Miler shared the portions of the proposed FY19 budget that included funds for capital improvements projects and asked Committee members to let her know if there were any questions It is anticipated that the DDArsquos proposed FY19 budget will be voted on by the full board at its March 7th meeting Public Comment None Next Meeting The Committee will meet on Wednesday March 21 2018 at 1100 am at the Downtown Library The meeting adjourned at 100 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Public Ray DetterCAC Francis TodoroSSDA Jonah Copi Jack Simms Welcome amp Introductions Ms Miller stated that the purpose to the meeting would be to gain committee member input as the team prepared for a series of public engagement activities in March to elicit feedback guiding the development of designs for the DDArsquos upcoming street improvement projects March Public Meetings and Outreach Mr Doyle restated the project goals for the FirstAshleyWilliam and Huron Street projects He outlined upcoming activities planned to gain public input This will include a weeklong design charette process for FirstAshleyWilliam Streets which will include a public meetings open design studios and stakeholder interviews Presentations meetings and design studios will be held at the DDA office and Downtown Library and all are welcome to attend During that week there will also be a number of pop-up workshops and focus group meetings The DDA website will continue to be updated with project content It was suggested that the March 21 Capital Improvements Committee meeting be held at the Downtown Library as part of this week of public meetings There was Committee consensus in support of this idea A draft list of stakeholders for the FirstAshleyWilliamHuron project areas was shared and committee members were asked to provide feedback including additions Huron Street In anticipation of upcoming public meetings Mr Doyle provided early design alternatives and asked committee members for feedback including sharing concerns about any of the alternatives being set forward There were no concerns Questions were asked and answered Ms Miller asked if the Committee felt that the alternatives met the project goals There was Committee consensus in support
11
Ms Miller reported that the team had met with the City Forester and MDOT recently to elicit their feedback on these early design alternatives including using larger trees in the streetscape design and parking on-street at all times except during rush hours MDOT conveyed that they will be reviewing proposed design alternatives based on a traffic growth projection 6xrsquos greater than assumed by WATS which will impact the project such as limiting the extent of time on-street parking may be permitted MDOT will also require City Council to indicate their support for non-rush hour parking it was agreed that the CIC will put forward a DDA resolution urging City Councilrsquos support for this and other key elements with the goal of supporting the value of making the street more pedestrian-friendly It was noted that DDA staff will be presenting an update about this project at the March Transportation Commission meeting and it was recommended that the Commission also be asked to approve a resolution urging City Council support Project Updates 5thDetroit Ms Miller said that focus group meeting will be held to provide in-depth construction phasing information to stakeholders in the FifthDetroit Street area and to provide contact information so the City and DDA can be contacted about concerns and questions once construction begins likely as soon as weather will allow Sidewalk repairs Ms Pollay asked that a future Committee agenda include an opportunity for Committee members to weigh in on whether to replace much of the brick in the walking area of sidewalks along N Main and Washington Streets as a way to reduce maintenance issues The DDA had approved the design for these sidewalks several decades ago so she welcomed input on whether it made sense to significantly modify the design to make more of the sidewalk concrete versus brick Budget FY19 Ms Miler shared the portions of the proposed FY19 budget that included funds for capital improvements projects and asked Committee members to let her know if there were any questions It is anticipated that the DDArsquos proposed FY19 budget will be voted on by the full board at its March 7th meeting Public Comment None Next Meeting The Committee will meet on Wednesday March 21 2018 at 1100 am at the Downtown Library The meeting adjourned at 100 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

11
Ms Miller reported that the team had met with the City Forester and MDOT recently to elicit their feedback on these early design alternatives including using larger trees in the streetscape design and parking on-street at all times except during rush hours MDOT conveyed that they will be reviewing proposed design alternatives based on a traffic growth projection 6xrsquos greater than assumed by WATS which will impact the project such as limiting the extent of time on-street parking may be permitted MDOT will also require City Council to indicate their support for non-rush hour parking it was agreed that the CIC will put forward a DDA resolution urging City Councilrsquos support for this and other key elements with the goal of supporting the value of making the street more pedestrian-friendly It was noted that DDA staff will be presenting an update about this project at the March Transportation Commission meeting and it was recommended that the Commission also be asked to approve a resolution urging City Council support Project Updates 5thDetroit Ms Miller said that focus group meeting will be held to provide in-depth construction phasing information to stakeholders in the FifthDetroit Street area and to provide contact information so the City and DDA can be contacted about concerns and questions once construction begins likely as soon as weather will allow Sidewalk repairs Ms Pollay asked that a future Committee agenda include an opportunity for Committee members to weigh in on whether to replace much of the brick in the walking area of sidewalks along N Main and Washington Streets as a way to reduce maintenance issues The DDA had approved the design for these sidewalks several decades ago so she welcomed input on whether it made sense to significantly modify the design to make more of the sidewalk concrete versus brick Budget FY19 Ms Miler shared the portions of the proposed FY19 budget that included funds for capital improvements projects and asked Committee members to let her know if there were any questions It is anticipated that the DDArsquos proposed FY19 budget will be voted on by the full board at its March 7th meeting Public Comment None Next Meeting The Committee will meet on Wednesday March 21 2018 at 1100 am at the Downtown Library The meeting adjourned at 100 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

11
Ms Miller reported that the team had met with the City Forester and MDOT recently to elicit their feedback on these early design alternatives including using larger trees in the streetscape design and parking on-street at all times except during rush hours MDOT conveyed that they will be reviewing proposed design alternatives based on a traffic growth projection 6xrsquos greater than assumed by WATS which will impact the project such as limiting the extent of time on-street parking may be permitted MDOT will also require City Council to indicate their support for non-rush hour parking it was agreed that the CIC will put forward a DDA resolution urging City Councilrsquos support for this and other key elements with the goal of supporting the value of making the street more pedestrian-friendly It was noted that DDA staff will be presenting an update about this project at the March Transportation Commission meeting and it was recommended that the Commission also be asked to approve a resolution urging City Council support Project Updates 5thDetroit Ms Miller said that focus group meeting will be held to provide in-depth construction phasing information to stakeholders in the FifthDetroit Street area and to provide contact information so the City and DDA can be contacted about concerns and questions once construction begins likely as soon as weather will allow Sidewalk repairs Ms Pollay asked that a future Committee agenda include an opportunity for Committee members to weigh in on whether to replace much of the brick in the walking area of sidewalks along N Main and Washington Streets as a way to reduce maintenance issues The DDA had approved the design for these sidewalks several decades ago so she welcomed input on whether it made sense to significantly modify the design to make more of the sidewalk concrete versus brick Budget FY19 Ms Miler shared the portions of the proposed FY19 budget that included funds for capital improvements projects and asked Committee members to let her know if there were any questions It is anticipated that the DDArsquos proposed FY19 budget will be voted on by the full board at its March 7th meeting Public Comment None Next Meeting The Committee will meet on Wednesday March 21 2018 at 1100 am at the Downtown Library The meeting adjourned at 100 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

Whereas Public input has called attention to concerns including fast moving traffic and an uncomfortable and unprotected experience walking along and crossing the corridor
Whereas Transportation options have been studied to address these concerns further informed by best practice solutions crash and speed analysis and discussions with City and MDOT staff
Whereas Recommended transportation elements have been formulated to include bull Non-rush hour parking to provide a substantial buffer for pedestrians on Huron Street
sidewalksbull A permissiveprotected left turn phasing for the westbound left turn at the Huron and Fifth
Avenue intersection to reduce conflicts between left turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street
bull Restricted right turns on red along the corridor to prevent vehicles encroaching into the crosswalk before turning

bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

AAATA $50000 (in-kind) City $50000 University of Michigan $100000 DDA $50000
Whereas An important goal for the year will be to jointly select a new program operator and should this operator generate program fares and sponsorship that allow for a greater recovery of costs the financial contributions from the AAATA City University and DDA shall be reduced proportionally to that cost recovery Whereas The DDA Operations Committee has considered this question and recommends approval of $50000 and the DDA participation in this bike share partnership in FY19 RESOLVED The DDA approves $50000 for FY19 for bike share in partnership with AAATA the City of Ann Arbor and University of Michigan RES Bike Share Partnership 030718 March 7 2018

Public Nour Habhab Anna Horning Audrey HuizengaSkyline High School Mr Ortlieb outlined goals of the Ann Ashley expansion project In addition to adding approximately 375 spaces this will include sustainability strategies such as changing the interior lights to LED installing anchors for future rooftop solar panels and managing storm water Another important challenge for the project will be to expand the garage while not contributing to the building appearing more massive He said that some of the concepts to be presented would modify the ground floor portion of the garage to improve the pedestrian experience and to accommodate the upcoming restoration of two-way traffic on Ashley Street There would also be an effort to mitigate the existing mass of the building Mr Mooney presented a series of ideas to modify the garage ground floor to improve its impact on pedestrians This included removing the 16rsquo decorative add-on on the Miller Street side of the garage which contains a total of 16 parking spaces over 4 floors and replacing it with a multi-story commercial space (2 floors and 2 mezzanines) with approximately 3000 sq ft in total He recommended building out the front portion of the commercial space on Ashley Street under the overhang up to the sheer wall thus allowing the portion between the sheer wall and the alley to remain available for parking while awaiting a future build out This would gain approximately 7500 sq ft plus a mezzanine with 35-50 additional space Both the Ashley and Miller Street commercial space build outs would help activate the sidewalk and would help buffer pedestrians from the parking structure on the ground floor Questions were asked and answered Other ideas included improving the pedestrian access into the garage from Miller which now requires pedestrians to walk down several stairs and turning the Miller elevator so it faced Miller instead of the interior of the garage Making improvements to this plaza area near the garage would be aimed at making the garage more attractive to users to the north including Kerrytown It was also recommended that while adding to the existing elevator shaft a second
13
elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

DDA staff investigated the installation of ldquoLicense Plate Recognitionrdquo (LPR) equipment in the parking facilities to capture parking patron license plate data in an attempt to collect a data base of where downtown visitors are coming from by their zip codes What we learned was that the State of Michigan does not allow the license plate data base to be used for such a purpose The other idea was to try and get parking patron zip codes from credit card usage Since the parking operator is only allowed to store the last four digits of the credit cards it was learned that there is no way to get the zip codes from that data either

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

elevator should be added to the Ann Street entrance to the garage It was also suggested that some kind of artistic lights be added under the Ann Street overhang It was recommended that vines be planted along the Ashley Street frontage along with trees to help disguise the building further The car entrance on Ashley may be expanded to accommodate entrances from both directions on Ashley in the future when two-way traffic has been restored Signage on the east and west sides of the garage would be improved To reduce the overall mass of the building it was recommended that an architectural screen or ldquoveilrdquo be installed consisting of semi-transparent louvers which would disguise much of the facade yet still allow in light Although the garage floors are on a slant this screen would be installed with a straight edge on the top and bottom so as not to draw the eye upward DDA comments included suggested some kind of vertical element to the Ashley St side to break up the expanse of louvers and concern that these louvers would block natural light which would require supplementing interior lighting the design team said that they would investigate both sets of ideas The team said that they had investigated potential construction methods Although less expensive precast concrete would not be recommended as assembly would require that the entire garage be closed for some periods of time due to safety concerns Cast in place concrete would cost more but it would enable most of the garage to remain open during construction More work needs to be done to develop cost estimates for the project but at this time it is estimated that including soft costs the base cost would be $17M enhancements such as added electricity EVs and LEDs would be $16M and architectural improvements may be $29M for a total of $215M Questions were asked and answered It was asked that the design team share this presentation at the March DDA meeting so the board could be asked if it wished to increase the project budget from $18M The project schedule would also be shared current expectation is following the Cityrsquos schedule the project would be considered by the Planning Commission on June 19th followed by City Council in JulyAugust Public Comment- None The meeting adjourned at 250 pm Susan Pollay Executive Director

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

RESOLUTION TO PROVIDE FUNDS AND PARTICIPATE IN A BIKE SHARE PARTNERSHIP
Whereas The DDA participates in a number of downtown transportation initiatives in support of its mission Whereas Bike share provides important transportation benefits to downtown including connectivity tofrom transit and encouraging a park-once solution Whereas The current bike share program has been in place in downtown Ann Arbor and University of Michigan campus since 2014 and has functioned appropriately but has not met the communityrsquos desire to move closer to being a self-sustaining program as many others are around the country Whereas The DDA was asked to join with AAATA University of Michigan and City of Ann Arbor in a partnership to continue the Ann Arbor bike share program but under the management of AAATA using an agreement with a term of July 1 2018 through June 30 2019 which may be renewed on an annual basis through 2024 with the written assent of all the partners no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the agreement Whereas AAATA the City the University and the DDA have been asked to provide the following funding for program operation for FY19
AAATA $50000 (in-kind) City $50000 University of Michigan $100000 DDA $50000
Whereas An important goal for the year will be to jointly select a new program operator and should this operator generate program fares and sponsorship that allow for a greater recovery of costs the financial contributions from the AAATA City University and DDA shall be reduced proportionally to that cost recovery Whereas The DDA Operations Committee has considered this question and recommends approval of $50000 and the DDA participation in this bike share partnership in FY19 RESOLVED The DDA approves $50000 for FY19 for bike share in partnership with AAATA the City of Ann Arbor and University of Michigan RES Bike Share Partnership 030718 March 7 2018

RESOLUTION TO URGE SUPPORT FOR KEY HURON TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT ELEMENTS
Whereas The DDArsquos Development Plan highlights identity infrastructure and transportation as overarching strategy areas which include improving safety and economic vitality through pedestrian improvements
Whereas In July 2016 the DDA began work on Huron Street improvements and in November 2017 finalized the project boundaries as Third Street to Division Street
Whereas Public input has called attention to concerns including fast moving traffic and an uncomfortable and unprotected experience walking along and crossing the corridor
Whereas Transportation options have been studied to address these concerns further informed by best practice solutions crash and speed analysis and discussions with City and MDOT staff
Whereas Recommended transportation elements have been formulated to include bull Non-rush hour parking to provide a substantial buffer for pedestrians on Huron Street
sidewalksbull A permissiveprotected left turn phasing for the westbound left turn at the Huron and Fifth
Avenue intersection to reduce conflicts between left turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street
bull Restricted right turns on red along the corridor to prevent vehicles encroaching into the crosswalk before turning
bull A fully signalized intersection at Third and Chapin to provide clarity for pedestrians and motorists using the intersection addressing concerns from vulnerable users at the YMCA and Lurie Terrace and implementing near term Treeline Trail elements
bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT
18
Resolved The DDA staff will continue to meet with the community city staff and key stakeholders to assemble a streetscape design with these elements included

RESOLUTION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL PARKING PAY STATIONS
Whereas In their 2016 study NelsonNygaard set forward a recommendation that traditional parking meters be replaced with new multi-space pay stations
Whereas Parking pay stations offer important benefits including improving patron convenience as they allow payment with credit cards cash and mobile apps and they will enable the DDA to gather usage data
Whereas The earliest EPark machines have reached the end of their life cycle and must be replaced and an additional purchase of machines will complete the metered parking system installation for a total purchase of 150 machines

RESOLUTION TO URGE SUPPORT FOR KEY HURON TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT ELEMENTS
Whereas The DDArsquos Development Plan highlights identity infrastructure and transportation as overarching strategy areas which include improving safety and economic vitality through pedestrian improvements
Whereas In July 2016 the DDA began work on Huron Street improvements and in November 2017 finalized the project boundaries as Third Street to Division Street
Whereas Public input has called attention to concerns including fast moving traffic and an uncomfortable and unprotected experience walking along and crossing the corridor
Whereas Transportation options have been studied to address these concerns further informed by best practice solutions crash and speed analysis and discussions with City and MDOT staff
Whereas Recommended transportation elements have been formulated to include bull Non-rush hour parking to provide a substantial buffer for pedestrians on Huron Street
sidewalksbull A permissiveprotected left turn phasing for the westbound left turn at the Huron and Fifth
Avenue intersection to reduce conflicts between left turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street
bull Restricted right turns on red along the corridor to prevent vehicles encroaching into the crosswalk before turning
bull A fully signalized intersection at Third and Chapin to provide clarity for pedestrians and motorists using the intersection addressing concerns from vulnerable users at the YMCA and Lurie Terrace and implementing near term Treeline Trail elements
bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

Resolved The DDA staff will continue to meet with the community city staff and key stakeholders to assemble a streetscape design with these elements included

RESOLUTION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL PARKING PAY STATIONS
Whereas In their 2016 study NelsonNygaard set forward a recommendation that traditional parking meters be replaced with new multi-space pay stations
Whereas Parking pay stations offer important benefits including improving patron convenience as they allow payment with credit cards cash and mobile apps and they will enable the DDA to gather usage data
Whereas The earliest EPark machines have reached the end of their life cycle and must be replaced and an additional purchase of machines will complete the metered parking system installation for a total purchase of 150 machines
Whereas The DDA wishes to purchase and use the same brand of equipment as previously deployed for ease of customer use and because that brand of equipment was selected after a competitive bid in the summer of 2016
Whereas The selected bidder is offering the equipment for the previously bid price
Whereas The project cost for this installation is estimated to be $13M including the cost to purchase approximately 150 metered parking pay stations ($1104850) 348 space markers ($115000) as well as a contingency ($45000)
Whereas The Operations Committee recommends approval of this project
RESOLVED The DDA approves the purchase and installation of parking pay stations and related equipment within a project budget of $13M These funds will be taken from the DDArsquos FY18 065 Parking Maintenance Fund

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members

bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

RESOLUTION TO URGE SUPPORT FOR KEY HURON TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT ELEMENTS
Whereas The DDArsquos Development Plan highlights identity infrastructure and transportation as overarching strategy areas which include improving safety and economic vitality through pedestrian improvements
Whereas In July 2016 the DDA began work on Huron Street improvements and in November 2017 finalized the project boundaries as Third Street to Division Street
Whereas Public input has called attention to concerns including fast moving traffic and an uncomfortable and unprotected experience walking along and crossing the corridor
Whereas Transportation options have been studied to address these concerns further informed by best practice solutions crash and speed analysis and discussions with City and MDOT staff
Whereas Recommended transportation elements have been formulated to include bull Non-rush hour parking to provide a substantial buffer for pedestrians on Huron Street
sidewalksbull A permissiveprotected left turn phasing for the westbound left turn at the Huron and Fifth
Avenue intersection to reduce conflicts between left turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street
bull Restricted right turns on red along the corridor to prevent vehicles encroaching into the crosswalk before turning
bull A fully signalized intersection at Third and Chapin to provide clarity for pedestrians and motorists using the intersection addressing concerns from vulnerable users at the YMCA and Lurie Terrace and implementing near term Treeline Trail elements
bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT
18
Resolved The DDA staff will continue to meet with the community city staff and key stakeholders to assemble a streetscape design with these elements included

RESOLUTION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL PARKING PAY STATIONS
Whereas In their 2016 study NelsonNygaard set forward a recommendation that traditional parking meters be replaced with new multi-space pay stations
Whereas Parking pay stations offer important benefits including improving patron convenience as they allow payment with credit cards cash and mobile apps and they will enable the DDA to gather usage data
Whereas The earliest EPark machines have reached the end of their life cycle and must be replaced and an additional purchase of machines will complete the metered parking system installation for a total purchase of 150 machines
Whereas The DDA wishes to purchase and use the same brand of equipment as previously deployed for ease of customer use and because that brand of equipment was selected after a competitive bid in the summer of 2016
Whereas The selected bidder is offering the equipment for the previously bid price
Whereas The project cost for this installation is estimated to be $13M including the cost to purchase approximately 150 metered parking pay stations ($1104850) 348 space markers ($115000) as well as a contingency ($45000)
Whereas The Operations Committee recommends approval of this project
RESOLVED The DDA approves the purchase and installation of parking pay stations and related equipment within a project budget of $13M These funds will be taken from the DDArsquos FY18 065 Parking Maintenance Fund

what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

RESOLUTION TO URGE SUPPORT FOR KEY HURON TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT ELEMENTS
Whereas The DDArsquos Development Plan highlights identity infrastructure and transportation as overarching strategy areas which include improving safety and economic vitality through pedestrian improvements
Whereas In July 2016 the DDA began work on Huron Street improvements and in November 2017 finalized the project boundaries as Third Street to Division Street
Whereas Public input has called attention to concerns including fast moving traffic and an uncomfortable and unprotected experience walking along and crossing the corridor
Whereas Transportation options have been studied to address these concerns further informed by best practice solutions crash and speed analysis and discussions with City and MDOT staff
Whereas Recommended transportation elements have been formulated to include bull Non-rush hour parking to provide a substantial buffer for pedestrians on Huron Street
sidewalksbull A permissiveprotected left turn phasing for the westbound left turn at the Huron and Fifth
Avenue intersection to reduce conflicts between left turning vehicles and pedestrians crossing the street
bull Restricted right turns on red along the corridor to prevent vehicles encroaching into the crosswalk before turning
bull A fully signalized intersection at Third and Chapin to provide clarity for pedestrians and motorists using the intersection addressing concerns from vulnerable users at the YMCA and Lurie Terrace and implementing near term Treeline Trail elements
bull Overall signal timing adjustments to ensure adequate pedestrian walk time and visibility
Whereas Huron Street is owned by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) which has asked for a resolution of support from the Ann Arbor City Council in order to consider approving these changes
Whereas MDOT will need additional time to review these elements ahead of the development of the final Huron Street design which is why this matter is being considered at this time
Whereas The DDA Capital Improvements Committee recommends that these transportation elements be supported
Resolved The DDA Board supports these recommendations and urges the City Transportation Commission and Ann Arbor City Council to convey strong local support for these changes to MDOT

Resolved The DDA staff will continue to meet with the community city staff and key stakeholders to assemble a streetscape design with these elements included

RESOLUTION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL PARKING PAY STATIONS
Whereas In their 2016 study NelsonNygaard set forward a recommendation that traditional parking meters be replaced with new multi-space pay stations
Whereas Parking pay stations offer important benefits including improving patron convenience as they allow payment with credit cards cash and mobile apps and they will enable the DDA to gather usage data
Whereas The earliest EPark machines have reached the end of their life cycle and must be replaced and an additional purchase of machines will complete the metered parking system installation for a total purchase of 150 machines
Whereas The DDA wishes to purchase and use the same brand of equipment as previously deployed for ease of customer use and because that brand of equipment was selected after a competitive bid in the summer of 2016
Whereas The selected bidder is offering the equipment for the previously bid price
Whereas The project cost for this installation is estimated to be $13M including the cost to purchase approximately 150 metered parking pay stations ($1104850) 348 space markers ($115000) as well as a contingency ($45000)
Whereas The Operations Committee recommends approval of this project
RESOLVED The DDA approves the purchase and installation of parking pay stations and related equipment within a project budget of $13M These funds will be taken from the DDArsquos FY18 065 Parking Maintenance Fund
RESOLVED The DDA authorizes a contract with Traffic amp Safety Systems Inc for the purchase of these machines

middot Permanently changing the revenue percentage going to the City from 17 to 20 middot Create an automatic process by which new parking fine increases would be considered
by City Council as well as a framework for what the new fine amount might be middot Improving the process for Traffic Control Order (TCO) approvals middot City amendment to City Code Chapter 108 to expand the definition of ldquoparking meterrdquo
to include new multi-space payment machines apps and other new technologies middot City Council consideration of the DDArsquos requests for changes to the Special Parking

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

RESOLUTION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL PARKING PAY STATIONS
Whereas In their 2016 study NelsonNygaard set forward a recommendation that traditional parking meters be replaced with new multi-space pay stations
Whereas Parking pay stations offer important benefits including improving patron convenience as they allow payment with credit cards cash and mobile apps and they will enable the DDA to gather usage data
Whereas The earliest EPark machines have reached the end of their life cycle and must be replaced and an additional purchase of machines will complete the metered parking system installation for a total purchase of 150 machines
Whereas The DDA wishes to purchase and use the same brand of equipment as previously deployed for ease of customer use and because that brand of equipment was selected after a competitive bid in the summer of 2016
Whereas The selected bidder is offering the equipment for the previously bid price
Whereas The project cost for this installation is estimated to be $13M including the cost to purchase approximately 150 metered parking pay stations ($1104850) 348 space markers ($115000) as well as a contingency ($45000)
Whereas The Operations Committee recommends approval of this project

DDA staff investigated the installation of ldquoLicense Plate Recognitionrdquo (LPR) equipment in the parking facilities to capture parking patron license plate data in an attempt to collect a data base of where downtown visitors are coming from by their zip codes What we learned was that the State of Michigan does not allow the license plate data base to be used for such a purpose The other idea was to try and get parking patron zip codes from credit card usage Since the parking operator is only allowed to store the last four digits of the credit cards it was learned that there is no way to get the zip codes from that data either

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

RESOLUTION TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL PARKING PAY STATIONS
Whereas In their 2016 study NelsonNygaard set forward a recommendation that traditional parking meters be replaced with new multi-space pay stations
Whereas Parking pay stations offer important benefits including improving patron convenience as they allow payment with credit cards cash and mobile apps and they will enable the DDA to gather usage data
Whereas The earliest EPark machines have reached the end of their life cycle and must be replaced and an additional purchase of machines will complete the metered parking system installation for a total purchase of 150 machines
Whereas The DDA wishes to purchase and use the same brand of equipment as previously deployed for ease of customer use and because that brand of equipment was selected after a competitive bid in the summer of 2016
Whereas The selected bidder is offering the equipment for the previously bid price
Whereas The project cost for this installation is estimated to be $13M including the cost to purchase approximately 150 metered parking pay stations ($1104850) 348 space markers ($115000) as well as a contingency ($45000)
Whereas The Operations Committee recommends approval of this project
RESOLVED The DDA approves the purchase and installation of parking pay stations and related equipment within a project budget of $13M These funds will be taken from the DDArsquos FY18 065 Parking Maintenance Fund
RESOLVED The DDA authorizes a contract with Traffic amp Safety Systems Inc for the purchase of these machines

middot Permanently changing the revenue percentage going to the City from 17 to 20 middot Create an automatic process by which new parking fine increases would be considered
by City Council as well as a framework for what the new fine amount might be middot Improving the process for Traffic Control Order (TCO) approvals middot City amendment to City Code Chapter 108 to expand the definition of ldquoparking meterrdquo
to include new multi-space payment machines apps and other new technologies middot City Council consideration of the DDArsquos requests for changes to the Special Parking
Districts Policy for Contribution in Lieu of Required Parking and parking requirements for downtown zoning districts
middot Miscellaneous contract updates Whereas City Council approved these changes as Parking Agreement Amendment Two at its February 20 2018 meeting Whereas The Operations Committee has reviewed the proposed parking contract amendment and recommends approval by the DDA Resolved The DDA approves Parking Agreement Amendment Two Resolved The DDA Executive Director is authorized to negotiate and execute this parking contract amendment on behalf of the DDA following consultation with the DDA Attorney RES Parking Agreement Amendment Two 030718doc March 7 2018

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members

bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members

bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Walking and Biking
bull Ongoing downtown streetscape and roadway improvements continue to improve the environment for walking and biking within as well as tofrom downtown
bull Future Questionsbull Are more bike house-style amenities planned into future parking
structure updatesbull Are there opportunities for more effective bike parking facilities to
be planned into downtown developmentbull Issue of long term support for bikeshare infrastructure needs to be
resolved5

A P A R T N E R S H I P O F A N D
Telecommuting and the Gig Economy
bull National increase in contract employees leading to many remote work opportunities
bull See results of those shifts with businesses serving needs of those employees like Workantile and Cahoots
bull Both a benefit and a challenge as work commuting patterns change and spaces are used differently
bull Future question for this program and the DDA is in how to effectively encourage connections for this type of employee to the transportation system that allows for nonmotorized or shared trips6

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

Whereas An important goal for the year will be to jointly select a new program operator and should this operator generate program fares and sponsorship that allow for a greater recovery of costs the financial contributions from the AAATA City University and DDA shall be reduced proportionally to that cost recovery Whereas The DDA Operations Committee has considered this question and recommends approval of $50000 and the DDA participation in this bike share partnership in FY19 RESOLVED The DDA approves $50000 for FY19 for bike share in partnership with AAATA the City of Ann Arbor and University of Michigan RES Bike Share Partnership 030718 March 7 2018

bull Conquer the Cold Commuter Challenge ended 131 The Challenge had 692 registrants with 538 logging a trip during the campaign This is a drop of 7 in registration over last year and an 11 drop in registrants participating Our total number of trips logged was 12240 or a 4 reduction from last year Interestingly participation from downtown employees was up almost 5 and bus commutes were up slightly more than 5 over last year Logged vanpool trips were less than half of
32
what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

The work to connect to the City fiber network at Forest and Maynard is complete
DDA staff investigated the installation of ldquoLicense Plate Recognitionrdquo (LPR) equipment in the parking facilities to capture parking patron license plate data in an attempt to collect a data base of where downtown visitors are coming from by their zip codes What we learned was that the State of Michigan does not allow the license plate data base to be used for such a purpose The other idea was to try and get parking patron zip codes from credit card usage Since the parking operator is only allowed to store the last four digits of the credit cards it was learned that there is no way to get the zip codes from that data either

what they were last year which correlates with the 19 drop in participants from University departments Car miles saved as logged were up nearly 37 over last year Survey results indicated a high percentage of repeat participants which could have contributed to the participation decline Most participants indicated that they received the information for the campaign through a direct email which means that their email was already in the marketing system This information is contributing to our campaign planning for May
bull The sponsorship prospectus for the May Commuter Challenge is now available Board members
seeking to sponsor the campaign should contact the getDowntown office Additional planning activities are focusing on a better structure of locations for Bike to Work Day increased outreach to potential campaign partners and a focus on having individuals complement the activities of their captains by encouraging more participants to grab a neighbor or co-worker and commute together
bull In cooperation with DDA staff City staff and University staff work has begun on revisions to the
Arborbike program The intent is to create a more financially stable bikeshare system for Ann Arbor while also taking advantage of the many shifts in the bikeshare industry over the last four years This is highly likely to result in a delay of the launch of the program this year The partners hope to have more information on this shift available to the public in the very near future

bull National increase in contract employees leading to many remote work opportunities
bull See results of those shifts with businesses serving needs of those employees like Workantile and Cahoots
bull Both a benefit and a challenge as work commuting patterns change and spaces are used differently
bull Future question for this program and the DDA is in how to effectively encourage connections for this type of employee to the transportation system that allows for nonmotorized or shared trips6
