Residents urge traffic signal at Michigan/Main and complain about parking-lot trash; ask about Hydro Corp notices
Summary
During public comment at the Aug. 13 Reading City Council meeting residents asked the council to consider a traffic signal at Michigan/Main Street, raised complaints about trash blowing from the west parking lot into Union Street yards, and asked about mailed notices for Hydro Corp water service line verification required by EGLE.
Residents and guests raised multiple neighborhood concerns during the meeting’s public-comment periods. Councilor Matz relayed that a resident requested the city look into installing a traffic signal at Michigan/Main Street in place of the existing flashing light.
During the second call to the public, attendees expressed that trash from the west parking lot has been blowing into residents’ yards on Union Street and that some visitors using the lot are not stopping before entering Union Street. Residents also questioned notices mailed about scheduling appointments with Hydro Corp for water service line verification required by EGLE.
The minutes record these concerns but do not record any formal motion, staff assignment or timeline for follow-up on the traffic-signal request, the parking-lot trash issue or the Hydro Corp appointment notices. The council adjourned at 6:55 p.m.
