    These are low voltage wires that are left behind from DTE changing out a pole that's kitty-corner from our back yard. This cluster-fuss of wires are still attached to the old pole, that will seemingly rot there with all of the AT&T, Comcast and older comm wires still remaining. Can someone please tell me how this can be resolved so this eye sore of wiring and the old leaning pole can finally be removed? Thank you. I did have Comcast move my cable from the old pole, but there are a lot more remaining. Seems there's no coordination by DTE when they change out a power pole. Thanks again.

    It seem pretty clear that grass clipping pick ups. We’re going to start the first full week of April. Hasn’t happened and there’s bags all over the subdivision here. Please update as to status of when first pick up will happen.

    The new equipment at this park was installed many months ago. There's a haphazard fence around the play area. But the safety mulch has never been placed and the concrete pad is exposed. I saw two dads with their kids climbing some of the toys the other day. Is this project going to be completed soon? It's a clear safety hazard. Thank you.

    The turnarounds on Outer Drive between Southfield Fwy and the I-94 overpass are in really bad shape. I guess I'd like to know why the crews that repaved Outer Drive in both directions did not do these as part of the project? Either way, they all need to be repaired and repaved. I could only submit one location in the photos, but there are more going West on Outer Drive all the way to Southfield. Thank goodness they did the one at the exit from "The Hill" where it crosses Outer Drive. Thank you.

    Please correct me if I misread the calendar. I'm pretty sure the grass clippings/yard waste pickups were to start on April 1. My bags were never picked up yesterday. Thank you.

    Could you please give me an update on this removal? I'm praying this will not remain standing thru the winter. Branches that are falling are very, very brittle and any ice storm would surely bring down some large branches. And, the orange X was put there so long ago it has faded.

    I'm very curious if the ingress/egress of "The Hill" will be expanded somehow to handle the extra traffic that the new Chick-Fil-A restaurant up there will certainly create?

    This tree has been has been reported here in the past. But, over the past 3 years has seriously deteriorated. Comparison time lapse photos can be supplied if needed. Larger and larger branches are coming down with each storm that we have and many broken branches are lodged in other branches and are ready to fall. A 4" x 20' branch came down in the front yard with the last ice storm we had.

    This location is not exact, as it seemed widespread in all of this area. Not sure where this belongs, but the fireworks here last night were insanely loud, and went on forever. If I may quote the law: "Sec. 18-61. - Fireworks. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to ignite, discharge or use fireworks except on the day preceding, the day of, or the day after a national holiday". - taken from:

    It went on with commercial style rockets from 9:30-10:30, at least. Can the police be called in a situation like this?

    A couple nasty potholes, at the intersection of Outer Drive and Parkside Blvd, right where the median begins off of Outer Drive. Impossible to avoid turning right on Parkside off of Outer Drive. Thank you.
