Want to weigh in on road projects in your township? Project meetings are planned
The Washtenaw County Road Commission has begun to schedule meetings to discuss local road projects for this year. If you have a road you’d like to see considered for the upcoming construction season, contact your township supervisor before these meetings.
Residents are also invited to attend, so here are the meetings that have been scheduled to date. As others are confirmed, this list will be updated.

1 PM on a workday... nice way to keep people away from saying anything. Way to go Road Commission. Closed minds, unwilling to think about pedestrians at all.

Don't blame the wrecks on no salt. My wife said a person in an SUV being in a big hurry passed her ,then when she got to a small curve in the road there he went right off the road and into a ditch. People think they should have been there 20 or 30 minutes ago. SLOW DOWN.

How about a meeting with the road commission to discuss the snow removal and salting (or lack thereof) during the winter seasons. Are they afraid of the negative feedback?

Absolutely, again this morning the accidents are piling up. It cannot all be attributed to bad driving. We all knew the snow was coming, why not prepare for it? When we had 78 accidents the other day, the Road Commission said they were unable to salt because of the temperatures. Officers are asking for salt again this morning.

Th $25,000 amount was for engineering for the roundabout. Costco is paying for these road improvements.

It is interesting in the WCRC 2012-2016 Capital Improvement plan it lists State and Ellsworth as getting $1.4 million worth of work. This must be that new roundabout that was mentioned awhile back. Also found in the meeting minutes in the below link that the roundabout design contract is now at $140,000 total which is quite a bit bigger than the $25,000 contract that Lisa had posted a few months back. <a href="http://wcroads.org/aboutus/theboard/minutes/2011-Minutes/December%2020,%202011%20-%202003%20version.pdf" rel='nofollow'>http://wcroads.org/aboutus/theboard/minutes/2011-Minutes/December%2020,%202011%20-%202003%20version.pdf</a> I wonder when they'll start the public meetings on that project since it is only 1.5 years away.
