Description
Title: Resolution of Intent on the Use and Administration of the New Sidewalk Millage Funds
Summary
The proposed 2027 New Sidewalk Millage aims to fund the design and construction of new sidewalks in Ann Arbor, specifically targeting areas where sidewalks currently do not exist. If approved, the millage will provide up to 0.20 mills to cover all associated administrative and construction costs. This funding will also support local contributions to federally funded transportation projects, helping the city secure additional federal and state grants. The millage will primarily benefit properties outside the Downtown Development District (DDD) and single- or two-family homes within the DDD. Importantly, it will not alter existing developer obligations to install sidewalks during property development. The millage is set to be utilized for approved projects starting in 2027, emphasizing the city's commitment to enhancing pedestrian infrastructure
