| With this year’s Student Move-In community members can expect changes to the usual traffic and parking patterns. Move-In 2017 will take place Wednesday, August 30 through Friday, September 1. The campus community should also anticipate increased traffic and rerouting on Tuesday, August 29 as preparations for Move-In get underway. The increased traffic this activity brings may create traffic delays and will necessitate parking space closures and alterations to the city and U-M transit systems. The following information is provided to assist in planning for this annual activity. | |
| STREET ADJUSTMENTS | |
| With the cooperation of the City of Ann Arbor, some streets in the immediate vicinity of residence halls will have altered traffic-flows from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on each of the three Move-In days. Traffic alterations will occur on the following streets: | |
| Thompson Street: One-way traffic flow southbound between East Jefferson Street and Packard Street | |
| East Madison Street: One-way traffic flow eastbound between Thompson Street and South State Street | |
| East Washington Street: One-way traffic flow westbound between Fletcher Street and South State Street | |
| East Ann Street: One-way traffic flow eastbound between Zina Pitcher Place and Observatory Street | |
| Observatory Street: One-way traffic flow southbound between East Ann Street and Geddes Avenue | |
| PARKING IMPACTS | |
| Most, if not all, parking meters in the immediate vicinity of residence halls will be bagged and reserved for students and families who display the proper Move-In unloading permit. Several university parking lots will be converted to Move-In use ONLY for the duration of Move-In. University lots that will be impacted Wednesday, August 30 through Friday, September 1 are as follows: | |
| Lot M28 (on Washington Heights) | |
| Lot M95 (just east of Markley Hall) – west half of lot will be for Move-In participants | |

| Palmer Drive Parking Structure (N26) – all Visitor parking will be for Move-In participants | |
| W16 (“Triangle”) Lot (Thompson at Madison & Packard) | |
| NC32 (on Baits Drive south of Baits II housing) – 30 spaces will be for Move-In participants | |
| BUS ROUTE ADJUSTMENTS | |
| Both the Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (http://www.theride.org) and University Logistics, Transportation & Parking ( http://ltp.umich.edu/news/transit-alerts-details.php?id=66) will be modifying some bus routes to accommodate the changes in traffic flow. Please visit their websites for details. | |
| Once again, uniformed Housing Security and Safety Officers and University Police Officers will be on site during Move-In and will aid in maintaining efficient traffic-flow in the residence hall areas.
