Parking and Traffic Flow Updates

As a result of the recent projects, hundreds of parking spaces have been added to the U-M East MedicalCampus bringing the total to 888. Signage also has been updated.

“Way-finding signs marking three different entry zones will peel drivers off to the entrance of the different health centers. They’re designed to take you to the front door first—if you need to be dropped off, for instance—then you can find parking after that,” says John Ballew, director of Health System Facilities Planning.

The Plymouth Road entrance will be moved from its current location to intersect with Whitehall Road further east, where a traffic light will be installed.

In addition, the intercampus shuttle will continue to provide regular shuttle service to staff. Patients who use a Gold Card for cab service, such as those visiting the Geriatrics Center clinics, will receive discounted fares, according to Bitsy Lamb, service foreman, U-M Transportation Services.
