Community Open House - Huron & Lowell Street Two-Way Conversion Study
Thursday, April 16, 2026
Washtenaw Area Transportation Services (WATS), in partnership with the City of Ypsilanti, is initiating a planning process to explore the feasibility of converting portions of Lowell Street and Huron Street from one-way to two-way operation along with impacts and connections to the non-motorized network. This study is a critical step toward improving mobility, safety, and connectivity in the area near Eastern Michigan University. This study is happening at an opportune time, as Huron Street is scheduled to be reconstructed in the next few years.
Public Open House #1 will provide the public with an opportunity to review the quantitative and qualitative data collected to date, as well as the design alternatives developed for the project. The project team will seek input on community priorities, concerns, and levels of support to help inform development of a preferred alternative. The open house format allows attendees to arrive at any time between 5 pm and 7 pm to review materials and provide feedback at their own pace.
Residents can also provide their input through the online survey below:
