City Council - Jul 20, 2026
A resolution was on the agenda to advance the state-funded concrete pavement repair of Jefferson Avenue between 11 Mile and Masonic, moved up a year after the road rapidly deteriorated over the winter. The city's share is estimated at about $485,000, with an initial $500,000 deposit to MDOT and reimbursement once the state's fiscal year begins.
City Council - Feb 2, 2026
Extreme cold blew apart Jefferson Avenue between 11 and 12 Mile. DPW patched it, and the city is working with the county and MDOT to pull the 2027 road project forward for bidding this spring.

Vitale flagged stretches of Jefferson — 9 Mile to Masonic, south of 9 Mile, and Martin Road at Little Mack — as badly in need of repair, with patching planned rather than rebuilding.
