Miller/Catherine Bikeway

Miller/Catherine Bikeway

The Miller / Catherine project supports two important community goals, increasing the number of affordable housing units downtown and providing safe bike infrastructure for people of all ages and abilities.

The Ann Arbor Housing Commission (AAHC) is constructing a 68-unit affordable residential development at 121 E. Catherine Street. The DDA is proud to be supporting this project by undertaking critical infrastructure work in advance of the affordable housing project anticipated to begin in 2023. The DDA’s work includes upsizing a water main, installing a fire hydrant, providing water and fire service leads, and a capital grant for streetscape restoration.

A two-way separated bikeway is being installed on the south side of Miller/Catherine between Division and First Street, completing the loop of the Ann Arbor Bikeway making safe connections between downtown and outlying neighborhoods. The Miller/Catherine bikeway was informed by the temporary bikeway installed as part of COVID response efforts in 2020. Healthy Streets pilot projects included a two-way protected bikeway on the north side of Miller/Catherine. Feedback led to the shift in the bikeway to the south side of the street in this permanent installation.

This project will be constructed in late summer and fall of 2022.
