AVANT-GARDE BIKE RACK - Pranksters are up to their old tricks, adding new touches to the sculpture known as 'Tree of Knowledge.' The hanging bike, however, is harmless compared with previous pranks. When the sculpture graced the traffic island at State and liberty streets five years ago, vandals repeatedly splashed it with paint. Later, it sat in a city storage yard, entangled in overgrown weeds. The 1,600-pound work, created by former Ann Arborite Ronald Bauer, was sandblasted and re-installed two weeks ago at Hanover square, a mini-park at the entrance of Packard Road and Division Street.

AADL Talks To: John Hieftje, 60th Mayor of Ann Arbor, 2000-2014

Thu, 09/19/2024 - 9:00pm

John Hieftje is Ann Arbor’s 60th and longest-serving mayor, elected first in 2000, then re-elected for six consecutive terms. John grew up in Ann Arbor and discusses how the student protests of the late 1960s and early 1970s influenced his community activism and helped shape his political career. He also talks about some of the challenges he faced in office, from the Great Recession of the mid-2000s to his work on the Ann Arbor Greenbelt, polluter laws, and bicycle infrastructure. He also talks about some of the city's ongoing efforts to address climate change and affordable housing.
