It's the first #a2Council night of the year. 2587 Packard is on the agenda tonight, and you can bet anti-housing activists will be lining up to voice their opposition. More on the agenda here: www.damnarbor.com/2026/01/ann-...

This is a good thread about the latest Mlive #a2Council condo article.

The Ypsilanti Water Tower welcomes the dawn of a new year.

Sounds like a lot of weather out there right now.

It smells like spring (derogatory).

Rain in the winter always bums me out. If it were just a few degrees colder, we could have amazing snow.

The Ypsilanti Water Tower bestows its Yuletide blessings upon thee.

Act One of the Nutcracker is much better than Act Two.

Neighbors Christmas lights are looking great.

1h15min headways for the michigan flyer is ridiculous

Great sunrise right now. Check it out if you can.

A beautiful sunrise in Ypsilanti. Happy solstice everyone.

Windy and slippery this morning in Ypsilanti.

Great morning for a run.

Balmy day in Ypsilanti.

The Annie is rumbling through town.

After the snowiest December in memory, are we just going to melt it all in two days so we miss out on a white Christmas?

Kudos to the City of Ann Arbor for doing a pretty decent job of clearing protected bike lanes! (seen here: westbound Pauline) ... but the opposite of kudos to the city for putting in a paint-only door-zone lane on the other side of the road, that's now covered in ice and unusable. #a2council

Hey chat, is it a free speech violation for the city to take down a city sign on city property? #a2Council

Meanwhile, at City Hall: seeclickfix.com/issues/20613... seeclickfix.com/issues/20613... #A2Council

The world’s largest Ostrya virginiana (hop-hornbeam/ironwood) 112 inches in circumference and 70 ft tall. It may not seem huge, but Ostrya are normally sub-canopy trees. Found in Hewen’s Creek Park in southern Ypsilanti Township. #trunktuesday

The final #a2Council night of the year is starting. Here's your preview: www.damnarbor.com/2025/12/ann-... This meeting has everything: Trunkline improvements Resolutions of intent Funding for the subsidized development on the Y lot

We need to do something better, #a2Council. seeclickfix.com/issues/20601... seeclickfix.com/issues/20601... seeclickfix.com/issues/20600... seeclickfix.com/issues/20600...

On the agenda for tomorrow's #a2council meeting: removing the city's 660 neighborhood watch signs. There are some on my street, I've wished previously for them to be removed. Glad to see this happen! […]

Another beautiful day in paradise.

The online survey for the Ann Arbor Roadway Rightsizing project closes on December 19. If you have not yet filled it out, please do so, and tell the project team to put safety for ALL road users first in their designs. #A2Council #VisionZero engage.a2gov.org/a2r2

Relevant today.

#A2Council yet another car-wrecking crash at Summit & N Main this morning. It's mildly traumatizing to see regular car-disabling wrecks next to and on the sidewalks you use every day. The drivers usually walk away, but people on our own neighborhood streets don't have airbags inside a cage.

Gorgeous.

Some inspiration for the new Cross Street Bridge.

So much going on this week, we had to make a list. Volunteer opportunities, ways to advocate, and events where you can meet neighbors and have a good time. You can peruse all our issues and join the mailing list at newsletter.moreneighborsa2.org #AnnArbor #A2Council

In 2020, I started to run every street in Ann Arbor and noticed the Neighborhood Watch signs around town. I was curious and learned that they came out of the 1994 Crime Bill effort for "community policing", and are part of a deeply racist tradition that aims to exclude people that "don't belong".

Another beautiful day in paradise

Cold and cloudy this morning in Ypsilanti.

Maybe the Hyperion Owl should switch to decaf.

I know this is hack, and unoriginal, but I can’t help myself.

Snowy morning in Ypsilanti.

Balmy morning in Ypsilanti.

Ann Arbor, if Mayor Taylor weren't leading a fascist troika with the local laborer's union and Big Business. #a2Council

Just got to try a prototype pizza at Mama Pizza: Matar Paneer. It is super tasty and comes in an airy sourdough crust. Sam says he just needs to perfect the cook time and tweak the recipe. Stay tuned.

The moon, setting in the northwest, looks really big right now.

In much more-upbeat A2 transportation news, the State St. bus lane and queue-jump signal are operational 🚌🚥🎉🥳🙌 More of this please, #a2council! cc @detroittransit.org
