Major and Local Street Construction
The Department of Public Works maintains approximately 21 miles of major streets and 54 miles of local streets within the City.
Much of the funding for street construction comes from gas taxes collected by the State of Michigan and redistributed to local governments. Funding that has been restricted to the major and local street funds will be used for street maintenance purposes only. Thank you for your patience throughout these project timelines.

After the hearing, homeowners can choose to replace the sidewalk on their own or have it replaced by the Contractor performing the City’s Sidewalk Replacement Program.
The final homeowner assessments of sidewalk construction will be mailed after all construction is completed. After the City Council approves the final assessment, it will be billed on the homeowner’s winter tax.
