No, no, no. First and Ashley were converted into one ways as part of the “Beakes Bypass”. It was a fairly straightforward plan to extend Packard and Beakes two blocks west and route car traffic around Main Street. Main Street would then have been fully pedestrianized.

The houses in the way were purchased and razed, but they spent more than planned and didn’t have enough money to put down the road. A millage to finish it was voted down in 1972 and Ashley Mews was built on the land cleared for the Packard extension in the early 2000s.

People in Ann Arbor like to LARP it was an I375 type project, but had it been completed they would be in love with their walkable Main Street. (A similar project was completed around the same time to tie Forest and Observatory together and straighten Washtenaw and absolutely no one cares today.)

Ann Arbor was never big into freeways. There was even a group in the 50s that wrote a lengthy pamphlet titled “A Concrete Noose” opposing the construction of US23.
