Plan, sponsored by the Southeast
Michigan Council of Governments
(SEMCOG), will be at 7:30
p.m. on Jan. 16 in Ypsilanti Township

DURING THE public hearing citizens
will be able to express views or
ask questions on the proposed plan by
following these guidelines:
All written statements will be accepted
and entered into the record;
Oral summaries of written statements
should not exceed three minutes;
Questions should be stated clearly
and briefly;
Questions should relate only to the
proposed transportation plan.
ANSWERING questions will be a
panel including SEMCOG planning
and policy persons and representatives
of the Ann Arbor - Ypsilanti
Urban Area Transportation Study
Committee (UATS), the Michigan Department
of State Highways and
Transportation and the consulting
firm of Barton-Aschman.
Although other hearings were held
during September and October last
year, this hearing was delayed until
completion of the UATS study which
will be combined with the SEMCOG
proposal for a total proposed transportation
plan for the region.
Transcripts from all hearings will
be studied by SEMOOG's transportation
Transportation Task Force,
which could modify the proposed plan
based on citizen input.
FROM THERE the proposed plan
will go to the SEMCOG Executive
Committee for review and comment
before going to the General Assembly,
a body made up of member local
elected officials, for adoption in June
this year.
An adopted regional plan, one of the
requirements for obtaining funding,
will expedite the release of state and
federal funds to southeast Michigan
