FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOVI, MI, June 22, 2009 – Last week, the Novi City Council approved a construction contract for the 2009 Neighborhood Roads Program to Hard Rock Concrete, Inc., the low bidder, in the amount of $984,262. The award is further testament to Novi’s commitment to improving and maintaining neighborhood roadways. Over the past four years, the City of Novi has spent approximately $7 million on the reconstruction and rehabilitation of neighborhood roads, and this year’s project is funded through the budgeted $1.5 million through FY09-10. These are funded from City funds and are over and above Federal Stimulus or other outside dollars that the City secures.

Proposed Neighborhood Roadwork 2009

Each year the City of Novi selects residential streets for reconstruction, repaving, and/or rehabilitation using pavement condition ratings and Department of Public Services field observations.

This year’s program includes several streets that will either be completely reconstructed or rehabilitated by making major repairs. Streets to be reconstructed include:

• Midway Drive (Steeple Path to a point 175’ north of Dunbarton Drive)
• Scenic Lane (Novi Road to end)
• Ironside Court (Serenity to Cumberland)
• Mystic Blvd. (Novi Road to Mystic Forest Drive)
• Mystic Forest Drive (South of Mystic Blvd. to north of Mystic Blvd.)

Streets to be rehabilitated include:

• Serenity Drive (Scenic Lane to end)
• Vista Lane (Serenity Dive to Scenic Lane)
• Kings Pointe Drive (Ten Mile to North End of Boulevard)
• Broquet (At Intersection with Eden Dr.)
• Morgan Creek (Midpoint of Morgan Creek)

“The city makes it a priority to answer the needs of our residents and maintain the quality of life Novi is known for,“ said Rob Hayes, City Engineer/Director of Public Services, “through the rehabilitation and reconstruction of key neighborhood roads, we hope to uphold our strong infrastructure for years to come.”

Construction is scheduled to begin in July with completion in fall 2009.
