Babs:

That sectionof Voorheis is a sublocal road (subdivision street). Road Commission policy requires that if residents want their subdivision street repaved, they must pay for it through a special assessment district. If you would like to pursue a special assessment district, please contact the Road Commission's Subdivision Improvement and Development Division at (248) 645-2000, ext. 2270. In the mean time, we will continue to do our best to patch the potholes.

The reason for this policy is that the Road Commission does not receive enough revenue to pay for the resurfacing of the 1,200 or so miles of subdivision roads under its jurisdiction. Nor do we receive any additional revenue because a school district chose to build a school on or near a subdivision road.

I used to take my daughter to Donelson Hills, and the road in question, I agree is truly 100% in dire need of replacing not patched. I drive a large truck and at times a small car, I have had to do a lot of repairs to the steering and suspension due to this road. This road has been in very bad shape for over 5yrs

Please see previous explanation below.

Keep Voorheis the way it is! It will keep those speeding cars away frommy house, They still speed by but have to slow way down to dodge the potholes. Not sure why Voorheis has to be the route to the school, there are very little children on Voorheis. You'll find most of the kids that go to the school on Ostego

I agree that the streets in this area should be repaved or resurfaced.
