I’m fascinated by the number of people who think the biggest problem with car traffic in Ann Arbor is bicycles. #A2Council

Did you know?! Any items checked out at any one of AADL's five branches can be returned to any other branch from 10 AM–8 PM daily, or 24/7 at the outside return boxes. Return oversize items Downtown, where you can wheel them up the ramp while parked in the free loading zone outside the entrance!

If you lost your hat, it is at Third and Liberty. @juliewbee.bsky.social #AnnArbor #A2Council

If you lost your banana, it is on Main Street by the Yard.

“Why are we putting in bike lanes for the few people who use them?” #a2council

If you lost your, uh, handcuffs(?), they are on the fence outside of Wolverine Village. #AnnArbor

Some background reading for tonight's #a2Council meeting from @jamesweir.bsky.social: www.damnarbor.com/2026/07/the-...

#A2Council I've been seeing many hyperbolic posts and messages about the proposed Broadway Bridge/Division Bikeway changes with calls to contact Council, so I did. You can too. (The proposed changes are good) sstrudeau.com/posts/broadw...

If you lost your Spiderman mask, it is on Ashley St. #AnnArbor

I will occasionally see people defend the courses on the basis that these courses are affordable, and you don't have to be wealthy to use them. But I looked at their rates for Washtenaw County's open courses. Huron Hills is is average, and Leslie Park is one of the pricier ones! #a2council

If you lost your road signs you can find them at the corner of Pittsfield Blvd and Jeanne St (if you can find it). Cc @juliewbee.bsky.social

“As expected, the likelihood of pedestrian death increased – but the rise was consistently greater for height than for weight. In other words, pedestrian fatality risk appeared more sensitive to increases in vehicle height.” On the other hand, air pollutants are more linked to weight.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

So, my @aadl.org Summer Game lawn code hit a big milestone today!

Better cycling cities are not just "more bike-friendly." They are also more equitable in access to cycling between genders. This means that infrastructure, safety, and policy improvements tend to benefit women more by removing barriers that affect them disproportionately.

#a2council A look back at luxury condos over time, and what they cost now 🧵

So, no one told me that you get to see how many people have redeemed your @aadl.org Summer Game Code and I put our sign out yesterday after work and it has been redeemed 75 times already and that is such a dopamine hit! So fun to think of all these library people going by my house! Hiii everyone!

#a2council Have you ever wondered how your taxes work, and why they go up every year? Well great news, because I wrote up this explanation for how taxes work. You can also see what causes your tax bill to go up every year (spoiler if you live in Ann Arbor, it's inflation)

Well this is an interesting article for #A2Council and #AnnArbor fans to read! TL;DR, we need to build more housing and not be as restrictive or car-focused. So, fortunately, we are on the right track.

Some #a2council housing stats for Ann Arbor for condos vs non condos homes built in the last 5 years 🧵

At a housing training this spring, a presenter walked us through the math behind building a small affordable project–it reframed how I think about the whole debate. I wrote up a little reflection on what I learned, including the question I can't stop asking: who is going to close the gap? #a2council

Turns out “Missing Middle” housing hasn’t been missing. We knew where it was the whole time. We made it illegal. Never forget, housing choice is a leadership challenge. #UrbanTruth #MissingMiddle

I’ve heard it said that #a2council hasn’t done enough for affordable housing. I leave this here (from the Ann Arbor Housing Commission) for your consideration.

#A2Council, Did you know that nearly 1/7 residents in Ann Arbor play the Summer Game? As Board President, I am a proud supporter of this incredible program that reached 17,000 players last year. Huge thanks to the staff who make it possible; it truly wouldn’t happen without their hard work!

If you lost your hummingbird cake, it is at S. First and William St. #AnnArbor
