South State Street Corridor Transportation Study
The South State Street Corridor Transportation Study is a study of the conditions of South State Street from Ellsworth Road to Oakbrook Drive. It is a complement to the South State Street Corridor Plan (PDF) and the city's Transportation Master Plan Update. The project will evaluate the corridor from a multi-modal, Complete Streets perspective. The study will look at safety, multi-modal considerations, as well as alignment with the recent land use vision completed for the corridor. The eight study goals are:
- Safety: provide safe conditions for all travelers
- Entry: create a more attractive entry to the city
- Pedestrians: improve conditions for pedestrians along/across State Street
- Bicycles: provide a safe place for bicyclists separate from travel lanes
- Transit: enhance transit conditions through traffic flow and stop accessibility
- Vehicles: maintain reasonable traffic operations along the corridor
- Land use: support planned land use described in the South State Street Corridor Plan
- Access: ease accessibility of corridor businesses
Why was this study done?
South State Street is a heavily utilized multi-modal corridor connecting the City of Ann Arbor to Pittsfield Township to the south. The corridor also provides the region with a connection to points east and west via an interchange at I-94. Currently, the area suffers from inconsistencies in sidewalk widths and existing configuration of medians, traffic lanes, and access points.
