Northville Moves Forward with Contract for Sidewalks

Sidewalk repairs will be made to streets around the city of Northville this summer.

The Northville city council approved $28,825 in repairs Monday night, which will be taken partly from city millage funds and from Downtown Development Authority (DDA) monies.

"The selected locations have been based on concerns raised by residents throughout the past year, as well as replacements based on inspections made by staff," city Public Works director Jim Gallogly said in his proposal to the city council. "The purpose of this annual program is to improve the walkability of the City’s sidewalk system, and reduce the likelihood of trip and fall incidents."

This year’s the scope of work includes repairs for the DDA at the sidewalk on Dunlap Street just east of N. Center Street and on N. Center Street adjacent to the Simkins Building is being proposed for replacement, according to city documents.
