MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 7842
RE: WIDENING OF M-59
BY: ROBERT H, GORSLINE, COUNTY COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT #2
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR, CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, state highway M-59 west of Pontiac is one of the busiest arteries in Oakland
County; and
WHEREAS, this highway has been widened to five lanes as far west as Williams Lake Road;
and
WHEREAS, the Michigan State Highway Commission has announced plans to continue the
widening of M-59 all the way to its intersection with US. 23; and
WHEREAS, this widening program is long overdue because the daily traffic burden on M-59
west of Williams Lake Road far exceeds the capacity of the highway; and
WHEREAS, the communities directly served by M-59, namely, White Lake and Highland
Townships, and those on its periphery, are among the most rapidly growing areas in Michigan; and
WHEREAS, the cancellation of construction plans for M-275 have prompted the Michigan
State Department of Highways and Transportation to review again the plans for widening M-59
especially that section west of the proposed interchange with said highway M-275,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does
hereby urge the Michigan State Department of Highways and Transportation and the Michigan
State Highway Commission to reject any cancellation of any pact of the M-59 highway widening
program; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does also urge
the department and commission to reject any additional delays in the M-59 widening program,
MR, CHAIRMAN, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
