The Detroit News. Still, road crews will start tearing things up in some spots this spring for upgrading. South Boulevard, between Addison and Coolidge and between I-75 and Squirrel Lake Road, will be resurfaced. We've been talking to our crews and they're telling us that this year's potholes are not that bad. The roads might not be that bad, but that doesn't mean conditions are good.
Crews are out daily, patching the worst of the holes.
But none of those crews are touching the scarred and pitted mess that is Orchard Lake, between 14 Mile and Maple. In the 1950s, the county paid the state several million dollars to extend Northwest Highway deeper into the suburbs. The state took the money, but no road work materialized. But despite the fact the motorists have a lot of concerns, we try hard to stay focused on the fact that the motorists are our customers. Everything we do is dictated by what is best for our customers.
