Topics getting the most attention in Livonia public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Westbrook Drive rear-yard drainage improvements
Neighbors on Westbrook Drive south of Whitcomb are in line for rear-yard drainage fixes, with the contract headed to Dynamic Underground Group. Residents Jerry Karasinski and Denise Mika raised questions, so it goes to the full Regular agenda.
Water and sewer rate increase effective July 1
Typical households would pay about $4.60 more per month starting July 1, a 6.16% bump driven by GLWA and Wayne County costs. The hike funds replacing failing water mains, including one section that has broken 96 times since 2016.
Myrna Avenue water main replacement
Two big contracts advance: a $689,000 Myrna Avenue water main replacement (a 71-year-old main) and the annual water main break sidewalk repair program. Work should wrap before school starts in the fall.
