Basic infrastructure improvements continue to be a high priority. Sixty to 90-year old water pipes are being replaced, thoroughfares like Stadium Blvd. are being re-built, and a new maintenance facility has been completed. Regional planning and watershed protection remain at the top of the list along with affordable housing, pollution cleanup, high-tech economic development, and continued opportunity and access for all.

In a time of historic challenges on the energy front Ann Arbor is fortunate to have a leader with the vision, knowledge and courage to position the city to succeed in this new environment.
