RCOC Construction Update 6/13/24 — Blue Section
This week, the contractor is finishing curb removals on Half Moon, Wooddale Road and Wooddale Court. The restoration contractor will continue to work on sprinkler relocations on Roland and Tuckahoe. Underdrain (edge drain) has begun on Burning Bush and will move on to Ardmoor.
Next week, the contractor will start curb removal on Roland and Tuckahoe. Underdrain installation will continue on Ardmoor then Hupp Cross, where the curb has already been removed.
A Few Reminders
If possible, please have any guests park in your driveway if you live across the street from a current work area. The extra room will allow us to work faster and minimize delays for street traffic.
Please travel at slow speeds as you approach individuals and equipment. When approaching the active construction area, make eye contact with the individual construction worker or the equipment operator before traveling past them. Equipment operators have many blind spots and may not see you unless eye contact is made.
In case of an emergency, all construction staff will clear the road as quickly as possible to allow emergency services through.
As work progresses through the installation of underdrain, you will still have access to your driveways. Once the curb is removed, we are providing aggregate (stone) transitions to ensure this access. If you have a circular driveway, we will provide transitions in one approach or the other (not both).
The contractor will be working from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM, Monday through Saturday. They are working on one side of the road at a time to allow access for residents and maintain the flow of traffic.
If possible, please assist us by marking your sprinkler heads with paint, flags, sticks, etc. This will help us avoid damaging your sprinkler heads/system as much as possible.
Soil erosion controls are to remain in place until the project is completed. The soil erosion controls will slow drainage and protect the drainage system from debris and/or sediment entering the system at all structure areas. Stormwater may drain more slowly in areas where soil erosion controls have been installed.
We know that road construction can be exciting and interesting to children of all ages; however, please always keep children out of the road and behind the sidewalk. The work will generally not extend any further than five feet from the edge of the existing roadway.

We will provide updates to residents as the project progresses. If you receive an update, please spread the word to your neighbors in case they are unaware of the current work schedule.
Should residents have questions or concerns, please use the contact information below. If you email or call, please provide your address and contact number. We ask that residents do not communicate with the contractor directly, as they are working for the Road Commission of Oakland County (RCOC) and will only take direction from RCOC. Likewise, the contractor’s employees have been instructed not to communicate with residents to ensure RCOC can address and be aware of any residents’ concerns.
