Map It: Which Roads in Northville Need Construction?

Construction is planned around Northville beginning in May.

 

Spring and summer are nearly synonymous with construction season.

The major city construction, which includes water main improvements, planned for this year is on Main and South Rogers streets.

Other proposed city construction, according to James Gallogly, the city's Public Works Director include: Fairbrook Street from Center to Wing streets, South Wing Street from Main to Cady streets, and West Dunlap from Wing to Center streets. Construction that could also occur is on S. Center Street from Cady to Seven Mile Road.

North Ely from Center to Jeffrey streets construction is also proposed, which would cost the city about $124,000. Construction on Hillridge Drive from North Ely to the city limits is also planned and would cost the city about $60,000, Gallogly said.

In the township, the roads are almost all maintained by Wayne County, said Thomas Casari, the township's Director of Public Works. Some subdivision roads are maintained privately.

In the township, although no final plans have been made, construction is likely on Haggerty Road between Six and Seven Mile roads, Casari said. That construction could take place in August.

"It is very high on the list of needing repair," he said.

The city maintains its own roads, with only a few maintained by Wayne County, including major thoroughfares, such as the mile roads and Novi Road. The smaller neighborhood streets are maintained by the city, said James Gallogly, the city's Public Works Director. Northville city has about 25 miles of city-maintained roads and five miles maintained by the county.

What do you do if you see a serious pothole?

City: Gallogly said that in the city, "We welcome (residents) to call them in." He added that the city routinely sends staff out to survey potholes and areas of construction. But if an area is in need of attention, calls can be made to his office at 248-449-9930.

Township: Though the township does not maintain its roads, Wayne County does, Casari said his department is in direct contact with the county about roads. "(Residents) are more than welcome to call me. I will forward their concerns to Wayne County," he said. Residents can also call 1-888-ROAD CREW to report road hazards directly to Wayne County. The county also has an online form to report hazards.

I am concerned about 7 mile and Center Street. Since the beautiful new walkway along Sheldon was added, foot traffic has greatly increased at that intersection. The road is a mess there and there are no crosswalks. That intersection can get congested and drivers are zipping around left turn drivers. I fear someonewill get hurt trying to cross there!

I agree, I drive through that intersection almost everyday and it is a dangerous, I even avoid turning there because it gets so congested. It's right off of Hines, too, which always has lots of pedestrians and bikers.

I agree with that also it needs work and at the 8 mile center street intersection need some work badly.

I'd like to see a simple asphalt pathway down 7 mile, Haggerty to Northville Road and then continuing on 7 mile to Center street.

Please look at Silver Springs road! We don't necessarily need repair, but a complete resurfacing! It is a road that leads to one of our exemplary, leadership schools, but the road is in GREAT need of assistance!

I am happy to see that Haggerty Rd between 6 and 7 mile will be done. Haggerty Rd is heavily traveled and the pot holes are too many to count. When traveling on the far right lane from 7 to 6 mile by Schoolcraft College is the worst! With the traffic you have no way to avoid them. You have to drive through and pray you don't get a flat or damage your rims.

If you really want your voice heard, skip the on line form and the 888 number for complaints about Wayne County Roads. Call Laura Cox's office direct. Call 313-224-0946, speak to Jordyn Salmon, and be sure to make reference that you and your neighbors vote!

Make Clement a dirt road between 7-Mile and Main Street. It is a joke and nobody that lives on that road will pay $30K each to re-pave it, and hook up to sewers and city water.
