Council approves additional right-of-way and new parallel parking on 9 Mile Road reconstruction
Summary
Council approved purchasing additional right-of-way and creating five 8-foot parallel parking stalls and a 7-foot sidewalk on the south side of 9 Mile Road from Rain Avenue to 16929 9 Mile as part of phase 2 reconstruction.
Eastpointe City Council voted April 1 to approve a change to the phase 2 reconstruction of 9 Mile Road that will add parallel parking and a sidewalk on the south side of the roadway.
Council approved the purchase of additional right-of-way on the south side of 9 Mile Road from Rain Avenue to 16929 9 Mile and directed staff to create five 8-foot-wide parallel parking spaces paired with a seven-foot-wide sidewalk as part of the reconstruction project.
Council members asked staff for clarifications about the parking configuration and the project limits before making the motion. A staff member confirmed the project limits and that the change modifies the number of parallel spaces from the previously discussed two spaces to five. The motion passed on a recorded roll call with all council members present voting yes.
The council did not read detailed design drawings or a funding breakdown at the meeting; staff indicated the clarification would be incorporated into the project documentation and right-of-way acquisition process.
