Warren neighbors win fight to keep traffic light in massive Mound Road rebuild project The project included eliminating traffic light at Arden Avenue
WARREN, Mich. – The St. Anne’s subdivision in Warren was ready to fight against traffic light removal in a massive Mound Road rebuild project .
Neighbors Craig and Patty Bill and Melissa Gordon spread the word about Wednesday night’s meeting on the construction project that is streamlining from 11 Mile Road to M-59.
The nearly $100 million project is the largest federal grant for a non-federal road. The plan was to eliminate the cut-through and light at Arden Avenue -- the only way in and out for people in that subdivision.
About 150 or so neighbors were ready to be heard. They were then immediately notified that there had been a change and all traffic signals would stay.
However, the intersection of Mound Road and Arden will see a major change. The ability to cross Mound Road from east and west will end. This means all traffic would flow onto Mound, which many neighbors did not like.
