ACTION
-
Homeowners' associations offer a forum in which
concerned individuals have opportunities of various sorts.
-
Newsletters offer one form of getting out
the word based on the available inventory of information and analysis of
it.
-
Master Plans offer a broad vision for the City; neighborhoods are a part
of that vision and so should be informed as to what it is. Link to
Northeast Area Plan of 1989 and to Figures
for that document; produced originally in 1989. Currently, the City
is upgrading the plan (see Planning Department part of City of Ann Arbor
website).
-
Local planning: trees can
cause problems when planted too near to concrete (sidewalks, driveways,
foundations). This link offers an action plan, with real-world work
done by Lloyd R. Phillips, for choosing where to plant trees of varying
height.
