Starting on Tuesday, May 25, 2021, the Washtenaw County Road Commission (WCRC) will begin preventative maintenance chip seal projects on Saline-Milan Rd between Stony Creek Rd and the City of Saline and Milkey Rd between Valley Farms and Saline-Milan Rd.
The work on these roads is expected to be completed by the end of the week. However, all dates are tentative and subject to change due to weather conditions.
Once the work is completed, drivers are advised to lower their speeds to 35 mph while the stone settles.
WCRC will return to this area in a few weeks to apply a fog seal on top of the chip seal and place permanent pavement markings.
Sunny, with a high of 36 and low of 16 degrees. Sunny for the morning, overcast in the afternoon, clear in the evening,
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
