This is not a new development; the developers have been trying to get it done for quite some time, now, but Ann Arbor as usual has been mico-managing this one. It's also not downtown.

I do hope the city finally allows them to get shovels in the ground on this one. The opposition to this one has been weird for me, as it's not like it's in the middle of an existing low-density residential neighborhood. It lies in a really fragmented area as far as surrounding usages are concerned. This would sort of tie everything together, give the area north of the bridge a center.
