Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to approve a cost sharing agreement with the Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority ("DDA") for the Downtown Area Circulation Study.

There are many demands on the downtown public rights-of-way and those demands are changing and growing. The Downtown Area Circulation Study (DAC) is a tool to understand downtown transportation operations, guide future projects in a coordinated manner, and help both the DDA and the City prioritize projects that best align with adopted values.
