TheRide’s Blake Transit Center to Move
to Temporary Facility on November 4
ANN ARBOR – The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority (TheRide) will be moving the Blake Transit Center from its current location at 331 South Fourth Avenue to a temporary facility located on the adjacent surface parking lot, known as the “Y Lot,†at 350 South Fifth Avenue on Monday, November 4. The move is needed so that the current facility can be demolished in order for construction work to continue on the new Blake Transit Center at 328 South Fifth Avenue. Signs directing riders to the temporary facility will be posted throughout the area, as well as on the facility itself.
The temporary Blake Transit Center will be housed in accessible, heated trailers that offer shelter, restrooms, and a lobby for riders. During the morning of the move, network access may not be available. However, cash and check purchases will still be accepted and the lobby and restrooms will be fully functional. Riders are encouraged to check BlakeTransitCenter.com for updates as they become available.
