Bloomfield Township Road Advisory Committee Meeting on September 23, 2026

The Bloomfield Township Road Advisory Committee met on September 23, 2026, to review and finalize their report on local road conditions and funding challenges. The committee discussed the limited control townships have over road funding compared to cities and villages, highlighting that 80% of township roads are in poor condition per the most recent RCOC PAS report. They noted the township's annual allocation of $250,000 to the road fund and an additional $250,000 toward special assessment districts, recommending continued or increased funding. The committee also proposed replacing the expiring safety path millage with a supplemental road millage dedicated to neighborhood road improvements. They emphasized the need for updated and more frequent pavement condition analyses from the Road Commission of Oakland County (RCOC) to better prioritize maintenance projects and recommended ongoing collaboration with RCOC to advocate for township road funding. Additionally, the committee suggested exploring a construction impact fee to fund road repairs related to new developments, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees. The meeting concluded with a discussion about the committee's potential continuation and a brief update on a separate wildlife management study funded at $150,000 for a biologist to assess local deer populations.
