Topics getting the most attention in St. Clair Shores public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Stephens Road Greenway Feasibility Study
A four-community bike/pedestrian path along Stephens Road is now an adopted study — a stepping stone for future grant applications, though it commits St. Clair Shores to nothing. Members debated road diets, business impacts, and resident-only park access.
2027 City Calendar Design
Commissioners reviewed the draft 2027 city calendar and asked that the August photo be adjusted to show less cement. They also began planning the 2028 calendar around a 'parks and facilities' theme, with a reminder to keep elected officials out of photos in an election year.
Pool bathhouse renovation
The 1966 bathhouse at the pool — which drew 48,000 visitors last year — needs a full rebuild to meet state fixture and ADA requirements and fix rotted roof beams before the 2027 season. It'll cost about $1.77 million from fund balance, with a hoped-for $800,000 land sale on Jefferson expected to offset it.
RJDA Family Booster Club charitable gaming license
The dance academy's booster club asked the council to recognize it as a nonprofit operating in the city so it can get a state charitable gaming license and hold raffles to support its competitive dancers.
