Today we talk about the next City Council meeting for about one hot second and spend the rest of the time on the one thrilling Top Ten list you didn’t know you needed.

Municipal reports that made the Top Ten (but actually 3) (but really 6):

Moving Together Towards Vision Zero, the city’s comprehensive transportation plan published in 2021;Reimagine Washtenaw, a 2014 corridor improvement study;Ann Arbor’s Sustainable Energy Utility, a 2021 report on the feasibility of a local SEU;A2Zero, the city’s living 2030 carbon neutrality plan adopted in 2020;The 2017 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Survey, an assessment of access to fair housing and community assets, as well as a tool to address and reduce residential segregation and areas of concentrated poverty; and 2015 Washtenaw County Housing Affordability and Economic Accessibility report, Ann Arbor solutions on pages 38-40. Molly’s Honorable Mention goes to the City of Ann Arbor 2021 Annual Crash Review.

A couple of articles to start your journey with Jess's forever crush Ada Louise Huxtable:

The Tall Building Artistically Reconsidered, a human-scaled path into thinking and talking about big structures;A Look at the Kennedy Center, a devastatingly hilarious critique of both bloated buildings and bloated politics.
