Traffic, parking to change during students' return

University Housing staff is working with the City of Ann Arbor Move-In Task Force to ease traffic congestion and reduce delays during student Move-In Aug. 29-Sept. 2.

Many streets on or near campus will have non-standard traffic flow Aug. 31-Sept. 2. Affected streets will have barricades at both ends, with security and police personnel directing traffic to residence halls and unloading zones. Although regular city traffic is permitted along barricaded streets, there will be only one travel lane.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to stay clear of streets near residence halls and travel to and from work before 9 a.m. and between 4-6 p.m.

The following streets will be affected during Move-In:

• Thompson from East Jefferson to Packard

• Madison from South Division to South State

• Jefferson from South Division to Maynard

• Maynard from Jefferson to East William

• East University from Hill to Willard

• Willard from Church to East University

• Observatory from East Ann to Geddes

• North University Court

• Washington Heights from East Medical Center Drive to Mary Markley Hall

• East Ann from Observatory to Zina Pitcher Place

• Monroe from State to end of the cul-de-sac

• Bursley Hall Parking Lot: Several spaces will be controlled Aug. 30-Sept. 1

• Richard Kennedy Drive: Parallel parking spaces for U-M service vehicles will be closed Aug. 30-Sept. 2
