Livingston County Road Commission officials and staff are preparing for a growing list of approved and potential road projects as a public hearing on the 2017 budget nears.
The public hearing will be held at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 22 in the road commission boardroom, 3535 Grand Oaks Drive, Howell.
“This is a list that will grow,” Director of Operations Steve Wasylk said at a Tuesday morning board meeting.
Road crews will fix up the intersection of Pinckney Road/D-19 and Coon Lake Road in Marion Township with fresh asphalt on top and paved shoulders from 700 feet south of Triangle Lake Road to about 750 feet north of Coon Lake Road.
