Council asks county to install temporary 4-way stop amid I‑75 detour congestion
Summary
After hearing from City Manager Jonathan Smith about traffic challenges from I‑75 construction detours, Mayor Sue Wylie led a resolution requesting the Oakland County Road Commission install a temporary 4‑way stop at W. Washington and Holcomb; the resolution was adopted 7-0.
City Manager Jonathan Smith described increased traffic congestion in the city linked to detours from I‑75 construction, presenting the operational challenges to the council. Following the presentation, Mayor Sue Wylie moved — and Councilmember Erica Jones supported — a resolution requesting that the Oakland County Road Commission install a temporary four‑way stop at West Washington and Holcomb to mitigate safety and congestion concerns.
The resolution was recorded as carried 7-0 in the minutes. The action directs the city to request county-level traffic controls rather than implementing a city-only traffic device, reflecting the county commission’s jurisdiction over the relevant roadway. The minutes record the resolution text: "request the Oakland County Road Commission install a temporary 4-way stop at W. Washington and Holcomb."
