The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority says it has an updated plan for the Ypsilanti Transit Center reconstruction project.
It was 2018 when the Authority released a needs assessment that showed the Ypsilanti Transit Center, built in 1993, was nearing the end of its useful life and needs a renovation and expansion.
Senior Project Manager Gretchen Johnson says she has heard a lot of excitement in the community over the coming project.
“It’s an incredible investment for the City of Ypsilanti and for TheRide. We haven’t done a large capital project in quite some time, and I know that this will be a really large development for the City of Ypsilanti, so a lot of excitement around there.”
TheRide is now proposing expanding the center at Pearl and Washington, including a parking lot for future development. None of the buildings or properties along Washington Street would have to be demolished.
They hope to complete construction by 2027.
