4/4/14 - What to do about the condition of roads within Hartland Township is a decision yet to be made and officials say theyâre still working to gather input from residents. Hartland Township is continuing discussions with residents and the community at large to garner input about how to address roads and pathways. The Safer Roads and Pathways Citizens Task Force was convened in response to residentsâ concerns regarding the condition of roads within Hartland Township and ultimately recommended a millage for improvements. The plan calls for addressing seven portions of paved road and intervention for four gravel roads but the task force also recommended creating or extending four pathways. Before the board of trustees takes action to finalize any type of plan, Township Manager James Wickman tells WHMI theyâre soliciting input from residents through a variety of means and are conducting phone surveys but also plan to host public meetings starting in May and throughout early summer. Wickman says it likely wouldnât be until August before any formal decision about pursuing a millage is made. If that is how the board decides to go, it would appear on the November ballot. In the meantime, Wickman says the municipality will continue to engage in discussions with the community. The plan from the task force would involve placing a 1.5-mill, 10-year question on the November ballot. That would equate to $150 per year for the average Hartland Township homeowner.
