RE: SEWER MAIN RECONSTRUCTION: ALLEY N OF OAK ST (1ST ST – 2ND ST)
On May 15, 2023, The City of Wyandotte will be starting construction on a sewer project in the alley North of Oak St between 1st St. and 2nd St. Due to increased development in the area, the sewer will be upsized so as to provide adequate capacity for the sewer main. The City of Wyandotte has contracted with Pizzo Development to perform this project which should last anywhere between 3-4 weeks. Throughout the project, each building will be able to continue using sewer facilities. For a short time, the lead to each building will be disconnected from the existing main before being reconnected to the new main.
Accessibility
Throughout the duration of the project, the alley will be closed to traffic. Any changes in parking, deliveries, trash collection, etc. should be adjusted before the start of the project. As per previous communications, the dumpsters for the Edinger Apartments, Captain’s and the Wyandotte Eye Clinic will be located on the west side of 1st St north of the alley, between the alley and Chestnut St. (within the parking lane) for the duration of the project. All means of egress to the alley will remain accessible in the case of an emergency. Trash pickup will continue on the regularly scheduled day. For any concerns or questions regarding accessibility, please contact James Karp before the start of the project.
Safety
The alley will be a CONSTRUCTION ZONE for the duration of the project and shall be treated as such by the building owners adjacent as well as the general public. Heavy machinery, materials and open trenches will be present on the site and shall be avoided. Traffic/Pedestrian signage and maintenance will be implemented on the site throughout the project.
Thank you for your cooperation. Please direct questions or concerns to the contact below.

RE: ASPHALT RESURFACING OF THE FOLLOWING STREETS:
7th Street (Eureka – Plum)
Superior (9th Street – Railroad)
The City of Wyandotte has contracted with Al’s Asphalt Paving Co. to perform asphalt resurfacing as part of the 2023 HMA Resurfacing Program. Phase 2 of the project includes the streets listed above and is scheduled to begin on Thursday, April 27, 2023. This phase of the project will be completed in stages over a period of approximately twelve (12) weeks. During construction properties may lose access to driveways up to fourteen (14) days. On paving days properties will lose access for several hours as the newly placed asphalt cools.
The street(s) will be closed to through traffic during working hours, except for emergencies. The street will be repaired one-half at a time to allow traffic to continue after working hours. Please park vehicles in other locations when contractors are working on your street so that work can be performed in a safe and timely manner. Home owners will be permitted access to their driveways unless the adjacent road is being patched.
Note the City will repair full height curb as part of the project. However, repair of curb cuts adjacent to driveway approaches will not be repaired by the City as this is the responsibility of property owners. Property owners may request the contractor to repair curb cuts at their cost; a permit is required. Also, property owners should stake any irrigation systems by May 1 to avoid accidental damage by the Contractor. Trash pickup will continue on the regularly scheduled day.
Additionally, the contractor will be upgrading sidewalk ramps to current federal standards. This involves making the ramp areas less steep. As the ramp slopes are lessened the adjacent greenbelt areas need to be re-graded to meet the lowered sidewalk. This will involve re-grading both the City owned grassy areas as well as privately owned grassy areas on corner lots. Residents are encouraged to water the restored areas frequently to ensure turf establishment.
We apologize for the inconvenience this work may cause you. The City and Al’s Asphalt will limit the inconvenience as best as possible. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions, kindly contact the undersigned at 734-324-4558, or by email at jplasencia@wyandottemi.gov.
