The large grey metal boxes which have appeared under the Maynard Parking structure, near the Public Library on fourth, and a variety of other locations are not concealing any mysterious new utilites, but instead are locking bike lockers installed as part of the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce’s “Get Downtown” transportation program which seeks to, well, get more people downtown. Here’s more information from the “Get Downtown” website:
“Bike Lockers

(I’m all for more people downtown, but bike lockers seems pretty stupid).
