The Ann Arbor Dependent

Keeping Ann Arbor misinformed since 1824.
GROWING TOO QUICKLY | In which we developments that completed in 2025 as well as ones that only exist on paper and haven't even gone to the planning commission yet and imply that this is all new housing for 2026.

NO MORE PARKING | After the "success" of the new bus lane that eliminated upwards of 10 parking spots on State Street, AAATA says more bus lanes are planned. Residents are concerned that the city has gone "bus lane mad" and that all this bus infrastructure will make it impossible to get downtown.

DOWNTOWN IS DYING | One of nine downtown banks is closing. Starting in January, PNC Bank customers will only have one downtown branch and three total branches within city limits to choose from. Nearby residents blame the bike lanes on Huron St.

CRIME ON THE RISE | A string of break-ins were reported last night. Perpetrator is elderly, bearded, and was wearing a distinctive red outfit. AAPD has not commented yet, but it is believed this would not have happened if #a2council had not taken down the city's neighborhood watch signs.

BREAKING | There were trees cut down yesterday in Ann Arbor! We haven't heard back from the parks department about why they were cut down, but we're going to credulously publish these comments from someone under state investigation for MCFA violations without mentioning that fact. #a2council
