Grosse Pointe Farms awards 2026 road program to Nagel Paving for $2.35 million
Summary
Council awarded the 2026 road improvement program to Nagel Paving Company for up to $2,352,912, discussed priority streets and coordination with sewer work, and urged targeted repairs for heavily used Lakeshore Road.
GROSSE POINTE FARMS — The City Council voted March 9 to award the 2026 road improvement program to Nagel Paving Company for a cost not to exceed $2,352,912.
City Manager Rieseide and DPW staff described the program’s priority blocks — including long sections of Miranda and Charlevoix — and noted the plan avoids streets where sewer separation will occur this year. Staff also discussed coordination with MDOT and SEMCOG to secure funding and approvals for a stretch of Lakeshore Road; staff and council members stressed the urgency of temporary fixes for potholes if full reconstruction cannot be completed in 2026.
Council members asked staff for the pavement-rating analysis used to prioritize work and requested maps and multi-year projections showing how the program affects long-term road condition. Staff said they would provide the requested rating and projection materials.
The motion to award the contract was made by Councilman Ritchie and supported by Councilman Jensen; the voice vote carried with ayes recorded.
