Dear Village residents,
Last night, the Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees unanimously approved our Roads projects in the Gold and Yellow sections. With this vote, the SADs have received final approval, and we are getting new roads in these sections this summer!
Later this week, we will be meeting with the Road Commission, Cadillac Asphalt (the primary contractor), and Bloomfield Township to discuss the construction process, timing, sequencing, etc. I expect that we will begin to see mobilization activities in the Gold and Yellow sections by early next week. This will include posting of construction signage, placement of soil erosion bags on storm drains and manholes, positioning equipment and/or materials, etc. Shovels in the ground will soon follow.
We will be using blog posts on the Roads website to post construction updates at least weekly. Residents are encouraged to check the blog posts frequently to keep up to date as the projects progress. Visit the Roads website at www.VillageRoads.org and click on the "BLOG" button in the upper right corner to access the blog posts.
As with any construction project, there will be inconveniences – noise, dust, temporary road blockages and detours. But by November, we will have beautiful pothole-free roads, with curbs, gutters and drainage! Congratulations to residents of the Gold and Yellow sections for making this important investment in our community!
Green section
The Road Commission has not yet completed the cost estimate for the Green section. Once we have the cost estimate, Bloomfield Township will prepare the petitions, and we will begin the process of gathering signatures of support for the fifth and final Village road project. I expect that process will begin this some time this summer.
It will be another busy spring and summer of improvement in the Village!
