Summary
The Wyoming City Council approved an agreement with the Michigan Department of Transportation to resurface Burlingame Avenue between 30 Sixth Street and 50 Second Street, a roughly $2.4 million project funded primarily by federal dollars; the city’s share is just under $700,000.
The Wyoming City Council on June 16 approved an agreement with the Michigan Department of Transportation to resurface Burlingame Avenue from 30 Sixth Street to 50 Second Street, a project estimated at about $2,400,000 with the federal government covering most of the cost and the city’s share “just under $700,000,” a city staff member said.
Council action: The council voted by roll call to authorize the city manager and city clerk to execute the MDOT agreement. The motion was approved by roll call.
Why it matters: The resurfacing is federal funding administered through MDOT and is scheduled for late summer or early fall, according to staff. The work covers a major corridor through the city and will require coordination among federal, state and local agencies during construction.
Details from staff: A city staff presenter said the resurfacing will be administered through MDOT but financed largely with federal funds. The presenter said construction would occur either late summer or early fall. No further project-specific timelines, contingency amounts or contractor names were provided in the meeting record.
Council discussion and vote: Council members asked procedural questions about funding sources and timing; staff confirmed the money originates at the federal level and is administered through MDOT. The council approved the resolution by roll call.
Next steps: The city manager and city clerk were authorized to sign the agreement with MDOT. The contract execution and construction scheduling will be handled by city staff and MDOT; no additional implementation dates or mobilization details were provided at the meeting.
