(Thanks to Candace for this special insight. Now who is making all this ruckus about the "Ypsitucky" name not being appropriate?)
April 23 A man's got to believe in something and I believe I'll have another drinkYPSILANTI - City Council member requests a cocktail during meeting while calling for funding cuts to municpal bus service.
 Does anyone remember the sheer audacity behind this campaign statement? Remember how voting no to revenue increases was the way to safeguard bus service? Well, while Robb requests that they make him a cocktail, he apparently is out to prove that maybe voting no to revenue increases was not the way to safeguard bus funding.
Well, at least he is consistent. He campaigned against raising revenues (which apparently will force reductions in bus funding). He argued at the council table that we not budget for the cost of the bus service agreement. Now he again returns to his mantra of cut funding for bus service. I am going to guess that Brian Robb never got around to signing the Keep Ypsi Rollin' petition a few years back. So what should we discern from Robb's proposal? That bus service is not critical to residents? Or that we should count on the largesse of AATA? Maybe it's the idea that if Ypsilanti cuts its own funding to public transportation, it will spur the county voters to approve a transit millage for commuter rail AND enhanced bus service?
Wait, aren't we all solidly behind the Ann Arbor-to-Detroit commuter rail service and want desperately for there to be a stop in Ypsilanti? Don't think bus service and commuter rail aren't mutually complementary? Well, they are and deconstructing one doesn't improve the chances for the other.

Double Trash Week
 The City of Ypsilanti provides two "double trash limit" removal periods each calendar year. This year our "double trash limit" removal will take place the weeks of April 20, 2009 and August 17, 2009 for all City curbside eligible properties. Each residential unit is permitted during this week to set out two times the normal trash volume on their regular trash day. This means that a single family home may set out six, 32 gallon containers and two large items. Two unit apartments may set out twelve, 32 gallon containers and four large items. Three units or larger may set out eighteen, 32 gallon containers and six large items. For additional information please contact the Public Services office at (734) 483-1421. March 14 Making Transit Happen - Ypsilanti Rail StopDETROIT TO ANN ARBOR COMMUTER RAIL City and SEMCOG will host an Open House The Ann Arbor to Detroit commuter rail project is scheduled to begin its pilot service in late 2010. The City has been working with SEMCOG to provide for the Ypsilanti stop, and will be holding a drop-in open house session to discuss the needs and considerations for this stop. The stop is planned to be located in Depot Town, and SEMCOG currently expects to provide 4 trains daily in each direction at the beginning of the pilot service. The City and SEMCOG are considering the needs for the initial startup of the service, as well as the ongoing development and maturation throughout the 3-year pilot program and beyond. Issues under discussion include access to and from the station, by bus, bike, car, and foot; circulation between the station, EMU's campus, and downtown; anticipated parking needs; and ensuring that the train service supports and contributes to ongoing investment in the Depot Town business district and surrounding neighborhoods. The open house will be held Wednesday, March 18, from 4-7pm, at the Haab Medical Building (111 N. Huron Street). The open house will be followed immediately at 7pm by the Planning Commission meeting, at the same location, which will include a formal presentation from SEMCOG staff. Questions and comments can be made during the open house, at the Planning Commission meeting, or to the City's Planning and Development Department. All comments will be provided to City Council and SEMCOG as the project moves forward. For more information on the Ann Arbor to Detroit rail project in general, please see SEMCOG's website, http://www.semcog.org/AADD.aspx .Please contact Richard Murphy, City Planner, with any questions at rmurphy@cityofypsilanti.com<mailto:rmurphy@cityofypsilanti.com> or by phone at 734-483-9646. Further Reading... Mark Maynard has discussion on the rail stop platform locations as well as potential funding from the stimulus package approved by the White House. August 04 Help me sustain a positive vision for Ypsilanti
Here are some of my recent actions on City Council:
· Voted to safeguard AATA bus routes at their current levels and prohibited elimination of personnel as a funding strategy. · Voted to accept EPA funding for environmental cleanup in the Water Street project area adjacent to Michigan Avenue. · Voted to revise zoning on Forest Avenue to permit SchoolPictures.com to establish their new facility and return parcels to the tax rolls. · Voted to reduce administrative costs in the Ypsilanti Police Department through an early retirement that avoided any layoff of patrol officers. · Requested the City update the feasibility study for a Storm Water Utility to recover costs related to storm water management. (It would require EMU to pay for their significant discharges into the system to relieve the City's general fund and ensure greater dollars could be directed to critical public safety needs.)
