Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Livonia public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Golf course maintenance building roofs
All three golf course maintenance buildings get new roofs and related repairs for $224,500, paid entirely from the golf course capital fund.
Continued city use of John Stymelski Veterans Park
A one-year deal keeps the city using the park it swapped to the school district in 2000; the shorter term leaves room for future talks about the park.
Shelden Park improvements
The $5 million Shelden Park renovation is moving forward with bids $500K under estimate, but resident Steve King argues neighbors want a swimming pool, not the planned splash pad, and says there's been too little public input.
Bennett Library ADA restroom renovations
Low bids let the city add a full women's ADA bathroom alongside the planned family bathroom — about $333,623 total, possibly done before Thanksgiving. The men's room can't be done because it sits over unexcavated space.
Library elevator modernization
$379,655 to bring the Civic Center Library's passenger and service elevators up to current elevator codes and refurbish cabins and power units.
CDBG plan funds Hillcrest Park and library accessibility
The CDBG plan puts $150,000 toward Hillcrest Park and $450,000 toward accessible bathrooms at the Civic Center Library, plus mental health, domestic violence, food and senior transit services.
Idyl Wyld golf course lighting
Resident Eric Fitzpatrick has repeatedly pressed the council about blinding LED lighting from gas stations and dealerships, especially along Plymouth Road. Councilmember McCullough wants the topic sent to the Law and Education Committee, citing safety liability from glare.
