IN RE: ROAD COMMISSION - SOLUTION TO NORTH/SOUTH TRAFFIC CONGESTION
IN WESTERN OAKLAND COUNTY
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, western Oakland County is plagued with severe north/south traffic
congestion, which is causing ever increasing disruption to present and future
development of this area; and
WHEREAS, State Senator Richard Fessler has proposed a plan to widen
Haggerty Road from 2-lanes to a 4-lane parkway with entrance and exit ramps to
1-696, as an immediate action to relieve a localized portion of this traffic congestion;
and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Oakland County
Road Commission both recognize the severity of this traffic problem and concur
that the Fessler plan deserves immediate study and rapid implemeriation; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Transportation Planning Department and the Oakland
County Road Commission agree that the improvement of Haggerty Road does not
by itself solve the north/south traffic problem in western Oakland County, nor
does it address the need for a thoroughfare from 1-275 in Farmington Hills/Novi
north to M-59 and beyond.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commis-
sioners supports the study of the Fessler plan for Haggerty Road improvements
and the rapid implementation of this plan by the State Highway Commission.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
further supports expansion of the Haggerty Parkway study to include a review
and recommendation regarding the entire problem of the north/south traffic flow
in western Oakland County including the need for a thoroughfare from 1-275 in
Farmington Hills/Novi north to M-59 and beyond.
Mr. Chairperson, I iAove the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
