Committee Reports
Landscaping
- We have volunteers Kathy Phillips and Carol McLean for the evergreens in the planters.
- SW & NE corner planters were moved to the NW corner due to concerns over snow clearing at the crosswalks and will be returned to the original corner spots in the Spring.
- Oakland County Parks employees cut back all of the plantings in the pedestrian islands. The plantings and maintenance, to date, have been done by the county parks thanks to a grant. They are preparing a maintenance plan for the city to follow beginning this Spring.
Alley Heart Artwork
- The artwork was completed and then was modified into two art pieces to accommodate upcoming building changes along the alley. The first part – the heart – is now in place and an official ribbon cutting will be at a later date.
Other News
