Detroit council agrees to consider Street SDC funds for urgent street projects including Butte/Kinney intersection
Summary
Council authorized consideration of using Street System Development Charge (SDC) funds for street projects not covered in the current street budget and stressed that any specific use will require subsequent council approval; proposed project: Butte/Kinney intersection (cost not specified).
Councilor Greg Sheppard told the council he had "a proposal for work that needs to be done on Butte and Kinney." The council discussed that the intersection project was not included in the current street budget and explored using Street SDC funds to address urgent infrastructure needs. Councilor Denny Nielsen moved to allow SDC funds to be considered for such projects, subject to council review and approval; Councilor Todd Smith seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Councilors emphasized transparency and that no SDC funds would be expended without a later affirmative council action. The recording contained audio gaps and the precise proposed project cost and timeline were not audible or were not specified in the meeting minutes.
