City of Lathrup Village. Planning Commission Meeting. March 17, 2026.

The City of Lathrup Village Planning Commission held a meeting on March 17, 2026, focusing primarily on updates to the city's master plan and capital improvement plan (CIP) for 2026 to 2031. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing the "Makers Mile" initiative, a 10-month program aimed at activating underutilized commercial spaces by supporting small-scale production businesses and entrepreneurs. The commission also reviewed and recommended adoption of the CIP, which outlines strategic infrastructure projects including roads, stormwater, and police equipment, noting that many projects are aspirational and dependent on future grant funding. Additionally, the meeting included a kickoff discussion on the transportation component of the master plan, covering existing conditions, survey participation, traffic safety concerns, and goals such as promoting multimodal transportation and complete streets. Public engagement and data gathering were emphasized as ongoing, with plans for further study sessions and community input before finalizing updates. No contract awards or specific procurement actions were taken during this meeting.
