Township Roads
Why are our ROADS not maintained like they used to be? Refer to: A Guide to Michigan's Road & Road Funding Crisis.
SPEED LIMITS ON TOWNSHIP ROADS
There is a new Summary on HB 4423 Reported From Committee (2/16/2016) that has been introduced. It specifies 45 miles per hour on a county highway with a gravel or unimproved surface in a county with a population of one million or more. Upon the request of a municipality located within such a county, the county road commission, in conjunction with the state police and the requesting municipality, could decrease in speed limit on a county high with a gravel or unimproved surface to not lower than 35 miles per hour.
Residents can contact Representative Brad Jacobson, bradjacobsen@house.mi.gov, and Senator Dave Robertson, sendrobertson@senate.michigan.gov to voice their opinions on this proposed legislation.

Oakland County Animal Control conducts a census each summer to make sure dogs residing in our community are compliant. Dog tags purchased after June 1st are considered delinquent. Please refer to the Treasurer's page for more information on purchasing dog licenses for your pet.
