Ordinance Gives Pedestrians the Upper Foot in Ann ArborBy
Carolyn Szczepanski
on July 28, 2010 Blog contributed by Alliance intern Adam Levine Pedestrians in Ann Arbor will no longer have to “play frogger” when crossing the street. With considerable help and encouragement from the Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition, Ann Arbor’s city council unanimously passed an ordinance that will require motorists to stop and yield the right of way to pedestrians at crosswalks. The WBWC released an accompanying video demonstrating the perils that pedestrians face due to Michigan’s culture of not stopping at crosswalks. Watch the video below or read more about WBWC here.
