City Hall Parking Passes Memo from the City Hall Project Team Coordination Committee
Memorandum
To: Board and Commission Members
From: City Hall Project Team Coordination Committee

Re: City Hall Parking Passes
Dear Board and Commission Member:
As you may know, construction is expected to begin on the redevelopment of the current Guy C. Larcom Jr. Municipal Building site at Fifth Ave. and Huron Street. As a result of construction activities, the City Hall Project Team Coordination Committee recommended relocating all Board and Commission meetings held before 7 p.m. at City Hall for the 24-month construction period. This recommendation was made primarily to try to minimize citizen inconvenience, which may occur as a direct result of construction activities which will reduce public parking onsite, disrupt the City Hall public entrance, and create noise disturbances during meetings held in Council Chambers before 7 p.m.
Please note the new locations for the following Boards and Commission meetings held in January 2009 through spring 2011:
Building Board of Appeals, County Building at 200 N. Main, lower level conference
Commission on Disability Issues, Community Television Network, 2805 S. Industrial
Energy Commission, County Board of Commission Public Meeting Room
Greenbelt Advisory Commission, County Board of Commission Public Meeting Room
Housing Board of Appeals, County Board of Commission Public Meeting Room
Park Advisory Commission, County Board of Commission Public Meeting Room
Public Market Advisory Commission, County Building at 200 N. Main, lower level conference room.
Sign Board of Appeals, County Building at 200 N. Main, lower level conference
In addition, public parking spaces will be reduced onsite at City Hall as a result of construction of the 15th District Court and Police Services Police facility on the west side of the current building, which is the current City Hall parking lot.
Due to this fact, the City of Ann Arbor Clerk's Office will no longer be able to provide City Hall parking passes beginning on January 1, 2009. In the past, Board and Commission members, City vendors and Police and Poll worker volunteers were provided parking passes. However, construction activities have necessitated the elimination of the parking pass program.
Below is a list of parking options available to you. A parking map is available online at www.a2dda.org.
