Move-In 2015 will take place Friday and Saturday. The campus community should also anticipate increased traffic and rerouting on Thursday, as preparations for Move-In get underway.
University Housing is coordinating Move-In to manage the traffic impact on the Ann Arbor and campus communities.
With the cooperation of the City of Ann Arbor, some streets in the immediate vicinity of residence halls will see traffic-flow alterations, from 7 a.m to 9 p.m. Thursday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.
Streets and altered traffic flows are:
• Thompson — One-way southbound from Jefferson to Packard streets.
• East Madison — One-way eastbound between Thompson and State streets.
• East Washington — One-way westbound between Fletcher and State streets.
• East Ann — One-way eastbound from Zina Pitcher to Observatory streets.
• Observatory — One-way southbound between East Ann and Geddes streets.
Most 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. Additional parking changes will affect university parking lots and structures that will be converted to Move-In use only for the duration of the program.
University lots and structures that will be converted to Move-In use only are:
Lot M-28 (on Washington Heights).
Lot M-95 (just east of Markley Hall, with the west half dedicated to Move-In).
Lot E-1 (on North University Court across from Stockwell Hall).
Palmer Parking Structure (N-26), where all visitor parking will be for Move-In participants.
Uniformed Housing Security 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.
The Ann Arbor Area Transit Authority and university Parking and Transportation Services will change some bus routes to accommodate the changes in traffic flow. Details are available on their websites.
