Maple-Benjamin Canal Association 2026 Canal Dredging Special Assessment District
St. Clair Shores
Description
A resident-petitioned special assessment district to dredge about 1,000 cubic yards of sediment from the canal and adjacent bay, costing $3,200.70 per parcel. Council created the district 7-0 after a hearing where two residents objected; the assessment roll hearing is March 16.
Impact summary
Dredging is planned for spring 2026 pending permits; if it doesn't restore boat access, another round of petitions and assessments would be needed.
