Roads: An Issue of Safety

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.

Who Chose How to Divide up the Areas?

The Oakland County Road Commission has divided the Village into 5 sections, each approximately 2-3 miles of road that can completed in one construction season.

The sections were determined by the Road Commission for construction efficiency and to ensure that each section has ingress/egress to main roads, keeping heavy machinery off our other Village roads, especially the newly-built ones (see map below, or click HERE to download). We plan to do two sections in the first and second summer construction seasons, and finish the last section in the third.

Indian Mound East

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.

Attend a Small Group Meeting and Learn More!

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!
