Michigan's seasonal freeze-thaw cycles create the perfect conditions for potholes to form after snow and ice has melted. Moisture seeps into the pavement, freezes, expands and thaws, creating a gap in the pavement. As vehicles drive over the gap, the pavement weakens leading to a pothole.
We want to make reporting them easy for you, but there are two things to remember.
- Wayne County maintained roads are Outer Drive, Fort St, Southfield Rd, and Dix Hwy. Please report potholes on those roads to Wayne County or via the County Hotline at 1-888-762-3273
- For state roads (I-75), potholes can be reported online on the Michigan Department of Transportation website.
- For City maintained roads, please report local potholes here or call DPS at 313-386-9000 ext.2704

Curbside Etiquette:
Why Was My Trash Missed?
|
One of the most common reasons why our rubbish collection contractor misses pickups is because they simply did not see it!
It is important to place your cart so that the opening faces the street with the lid completely closed to avoid rubbish from falling in to the street. Be mindful to make sure the cart is not blocked by a vehicle or other curbside items.
Yard waste must be placed in designated paper yard waste bags or properly marked containers. Yard waste stickers are available at City Hall.
The yard waste truck will not stop to look in unmarked containers. All branches and twigs need to be cut in 3 foot lengths and bundled with twine. Filled bags must be less than 50 lbs. Please remember, dirt is not considered yard waste and will not be accepted.
