What the heck is happening out there?
Proposed Work Week of June 14th
|
|
Phase 1 of the 2021 Paving Project is DONE!

IMPORTANT TRASH PICK UP NOTICE!
June 14, 2021
Alhambra, San Jose, Wiltshire
|
|
Regular trash pick-up will NOT be available on Monday for those on Alhambra, San Jose and Wiltshire.
Residents should use the designated locations instead. These are identified with signage (compost, garbage, and recycling). These areas were selected based on their proximity to the affected residents and relative flatness of the intersection. Efforts were made to minimize the need for residents to cross the street. As with regular trash pick-up, you may place your trash out the evening before. Residents are encouraged to mark their cans in a unique way (like your luggage!).

INTERACTIVE MAP FOR ROAD PROJECTS! |
|
Did you know that you can look up your street on the GIS map and get updates on the road project?
|
|
Many residents have verified inside the house by using the QR code and instructions. If you haven’t already completed this step, see below for instructions. To verify the 2nd and 3rd points, the city’s contractor Sunde Building will dig out an area approximately 5’ x 3’ x 6’ to view both sides of the curb stop. Typically, this in the front yard near the sidewalk and is marked with a metal disc. Within 2 weeks of the work being complete, the city’s contractor will restore the disturbed area. We only ask that you water the new grass seed.
The city released the bid documents for the Sidewalk Replacement Program on Friday, June 4th. Once the contract has been awarded, residents will be provided with an estimated cost to replace/repair the marked sidewalk flags. Additional information will be mailed in the coming weeks.

The city released the bid documents for the Sidewalk Replacement Program on Friday, June 4th. The bid submission are due on June 17th at 2pm.
Once the contract has been awarded, residents in Phase 1 (south of 11 Mile/I-696) and businesses located along Southfield Road, will be provided with an estimated cost to replace/repair the marked sidewalk flags.
The DDA is covering the cost of ADA compliance along Southfield Road. The City is assuming the cost for root grinding related to city trees raising the sidewalk flag and ADA compliance in the residential area. Property owners will be responsible for the cost of repair/replacement of the sidewalk flags adjacent to their property. Additional information will be mailed in the coming weeks.

Check out our Bike Repair Kiosks! We know have two bike repair kiosks. The kiosks have air pumps and tools available for use.
The one featured below is outside Municipal Park on California Dr. and Sunset Blvd. The other kiosk can be found at Goldengate Park on Rainbow Dr.
|
|
Working with the City Engineers, the Police Department, and the experts from the Traffic Improvement Association, city administration is looking to modify the bike route crossing from Lathrup Blvd at 11 Mile/I-696. The changes discussed include having the bikers/walkers both walk along west bound 11 Mile and cross at Southfield Road. We are also discussing ways in which to make that Lathrup Blvd intersection there safer for motorists, as this is an area with a high number of crashes. |

Water Line Material Survey |
|
IMPORTANT REMINDER!
Lathrup Village residents are being asked to help to identifying if the water service material that connects to the water meter in their home contains lead, copper, or galvanized steel.
The City has received 126 responses to the survey so far! As expected, most properties have copper lines connecting to their water meters inside of their homes. But, it is important to note that 10 homes have been identified as having lead and 4 with galvanized steel. The lead and galvanized steel water service lines will be placed on the list and scheduled for replacement of the entire water service line – at the expense of the city.
If you haven’t already participated in the survey, please take a moment to participate in this important survey. Additional information about this requirement is available at this link and in this eNewsletter.
The information submitted will be reviewed by staff and loaded onto a GIS map and database. This will make it easier for the Department of Public Service to identify the materials for each property and which may require replacement., which is required by the State of Michigan.
|
|
Or, residents can use this QR Code.
|
|
Helpful information is available through the National Public Radio (NPR) online tool that helps residents to walk through the identification process step-by-step.
