Plans for the structures presented to the city show a suburban-style layout with modern buildings flanked by large surface parking lots. The developers want to bulldoze seven single-family homes and a small corner store to make way for the project. These buildings have served in a traditional urban neighborhood on Ann Arbor’s near north side for about a century. Read the rest of the story here.
