9/2/14 - Work is continuing on road and trail projects in Green Oak Township. Supervisor Mark St. Charles tells WHMI Fieldcrest Road is an "absolute pleasure to drive" now and it's not even done yet. He says the first layer of paving was laid down and crews started installing the non-motorized pedestrian trail portion of the project from Silver Lake Road to Lee Road, between Fieldcrest and the expressway. A voter approved road millage has allowed the township to tackle a number of projects and address longstanding problems. The paving of Winans Lake Road is still scheduled this year in Green Oak and Hamburg Townships. Itâs a narrow road with high traffic volumes and therefore must be completely closed, although St. Charles says it will be short lived. Also happening this season is work on Eight Mile Road from the Marshall/Spencer Road area, east to Rushton Road. St. Charles says theyâll focus on drainage, ditches and soil erosion before putting down limestone to clean up that road. The one road he says they couldnât get to this year was Rushton, which will be going from gravel to a paved surface. He says theyâll be working with various utility companies over the winter, into next spring and are shooting for construction in 2015. St. Charles says everyone involved in the projects deserve to be thanked from the road commission and crews to the township board and voters, as it wouldnât have happened had they not approved the road millage.
