Miscellaneous Resolution # 90067
BY: David L. Moffitt, County Commissioner-District #15
RE: FARMINGTON HILLS-CONSTRUCTION OF NOISE BARRIER BY M-DOT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, in the planning and promising stages of 1-696 construction in
Farmington Hills, the Michigan Department of Transportation (M-DOT) guaranteed
to the residents of Howard Road, a natural earth berm to reduce the level of
traffic noise from the 8-lane wide interstate; and
WHEREAS, following completion of 1-696, M-DOT discovered that the promised
1,000 toot noise barrier would cost $90,000 more than anticipated because
M-DOT had not taken into account the berm area is a wetland; and
WHEREAS, M-DOT is now turning its back on its promise and on the citizens
of Farmington Hills in allowing this noxious noise pollution to disrupt the
lives of the residents of Howard Road.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby urge the M-DOT to fulfill its commitment to the citizens of
Farmington Hills by the immediate initiation of construction of a traffic-noise
buffer along 1-696 parallel to Howard Road.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be sent
to James Pitz, Director of M-DOT, Oakland County Road Commission, all Oakland
County Legislators, the County's Legislative Agent, and the City of Farmington
Hills.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
