ST. CLAIR SHORES Summertime means road construction time in St. Clair Shores.
Macomb County Department of Roads began work in the spring on joint repairs between Eight Mile and Nine Mile roads on Harper Avenue work that will take until about mid-July to complete, Community Development and Inspection Director Chris Rayes said. The work includes removing poor sections of road and pouring new concrete for permanent repairs on the street.
City officials said they realize the county may run out of money before getting to a section of road in desperate need of repair north of Nine Mile Road, but there are plans to make the repair using city funds. Rayes said the deteriorating section of Harper Avenue in front of Taco Bell, at the intersection of Harper Avenue and Little Mack Avenue, is the spot to be repaired.
ST. CLAIR SHORES St. Clair Shores will continue to work with the city of Roseville for its inspection services after it was the lone bidder on the service contracts.

ST. CLAIR SHORES A parcel of land along Lake St. Clair is closer to being developed after members of City Council approved a purchase agreement from MMD Acquisitions LLC.
The 1.89 acres of land was given to the city by the Holzhauer Trust in December 2016. The approximately 100-foot-wide by 550-foot-deep piece of property was signed over to the city at that time with an agreement that the city could sell the property to be developed as it sees fit and use the money to improve Veterans Memorial Park or Blossom Heath Park.
