Share input on a potential two-way conversion of Ashman & Rodd

May 02, 2023 08:33 am | The City of Midland

For nearly two decades, the City of Midland has been considering the potential conversion of Ashman and Rodd Streets from one-way pairs to two-way traffic. A study conducted in February 2022 by OHM Advisors concluded that a two-way conversion is a feasible option for both Ashman and Rodd Streets from Ann Street to Cambridge Street/Saginaw Road. 

While this potential conversion has been discussed for several years and would not be implemented for several more, other roadway projects impacted by Ashman and Rodd have presented a unique opportunity to make this decision now. In a new input topic, the City is currently collecting comments from residents, organizations, and street network users about this potential conversion as it relates to common topics: Traffic flow, traffic safety, economic development, non-motorized transportation, and more. You will not be asked to "vote" at any time or answer any questions about this initiative.

How will this feedback be used? Input received on this topic and information received from the previous open houses will be shared with City staff and the Midland CIty Council to assist in decision-making regarding a two-way conversion of Ashman and Rodd and, if a conversion is implemented, to design corridors that incorporate this feedback as much as possible. 

This topic will be open for input through Wednesday, May 10 at 7 a.m. Click the button below for more information and to begin.
