We received this email from a Village Resident. It is a good reminder to wear your helmet, and an unfortunate reminder why our 40-year old roads are dangerous for our kids.

Announcing Pothole of the Month - October 2022

Questions Covered:
Cranbrook and Covington roads not included in SAD?.
Bradway Construction in 2026?
How are assessments determined by the Township?

Questions Covered:
Why not do an asphalt overlay?
Why can’t we continue to simply fill potholes?
What about converting our roads to gravel?

We received these photos of the roads on Indian Mound East.

The Curb: You can see the very top of what was once a curb along the outside of the road. The curbs around the Village are buried under inches of quick fix asphalt overlays.

Can’t we just patch it? The short answer is “no.” As you can see in the pictures below. Whole sections of the road have become gravel. The Township will only patch potholes. They define potholes as semi-round holes in the asphalt - NOT entire stretches of the street.

Finally, signing the petition to fix our roads will solve these problems and rebuild our roads. If you decline to sign the petition you are in effect supporting the status quo.

Announcing Pothole of the Month - September. The judges voted and chose this pothole, and all of his friends, as the “Pothole of the Month.”

What will be on the agenda for these small group meetings?

The meeting will start with about 20 minutes of presentation followed by time for questions and discussion. We will keep the meeting to 60 minutes. 

Why are you doing "small group meetings" versus a big "town hall" meeting?

We have planned small group meetings to give residents the opportunity to ask their specific questions about the road project and the SAD process.  Sometimes town hall meetings become swamped with questions from only a few attendees. We want every resident to have the opportunity to ask their unique questions!

Announcing Pothole of the Month - August 2022

Fascinating article about another Subdivision working together to solve their Road problems.

1961 Bloomfield Village Roads were paved. In the last 60+ years we have only done a series of temporary fixes and pothole patches.
