Title
An Ordinance to Amend Section 10:148 of Chapter 126, Traffic (Pedestrian Crosswalks), Title X, of the Code of the City of Ann Arbor
Memorandum
The attached ordinance amendment to Code Section 10:148 is sponsored by Council Member Kunselman. In Mayor John Hieftje's veto on December 9, 2013 (copy attached), of the ordinance amendment to Code Section 10:148 that had been passed by Council on December 2, 2013, the Mayor stated as follows:
"Section 10:148 in the Ann Arbor City Code differs from Rule 702 of the Michigan Uniform Traffic Code ("UTC") in that it explicitly requires drivers to stop, if they can do so safely, for pedestrians stopped on the curb, curb line or ramp."
The language requiring drivers "to stop, if they can do so safely" was not and is not in Section 10:148. The attached ordinance amendment will bring Section 10:148 into conformity with the language in Mayor Hieftje's veto.
