College Place runs from Washtenaw Avenue north to Forest Avenue. In September, 2006, the City of Ypsilanti and EMU announced a plan to close College Place to cars between Cross Street and Forest, where it is bordered on either side by campus property, and convert it to a pedestrian walkway and park.

I write as chair of the Ypsilanti-EMU Alliance, a group of local residents and EMU community members, to urge you to table or reject the proposal to close College Place to create a $1.3 million dollar “pedestrian mall”. Given the sharp cuts in support for academic needs and student services on campus, where so many urgent needs go unmet, this money can be better spent elsewhere.
