Mayor: Demolitions proceeding as utilities are moved; safety delays attributed to Wayne County
Summary
Mayor Glenda McDonald said some demolition work has been slowed because power lines and other utilities must be moved first, and emphasized safety as the reason for the delays. She asked residents to be aware of demolition notices in their neighborhoods.
Mayor Glenda McDonald told residents that demolition activity is underway in parts of the city but that work has been delayed in places where utility relocations are required.
"I don't control how Wayne County operate," McDonald said while explaining delays related to moving power lines and other infrastructure before demolition can proceed. She emphasized safety, saying crews must clear hazards so "nobody wants to get hurt by anything that can cause them harm."
The mayor advised residents to watch for signs indicating properties slated for demolition. She described demolition as part of a broader sequence of work that follows water-line and utility projects in the same areas. McDonald did not provide a specific timetable for individual demolitions or a county contact for the utility relocations during the address.
