City Hall Hours

Monday - Friday 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) will be closing westbound I-696 from I-75 to Lahser Road overnight Friday, Feb. 21, and Saturday, Feb. 22, for preparation work in anticipation of the project beginning on March 1. 

Beginning 10 p.m. Friday, Feb. 21, to 6 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, and then again from 10 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, to 6 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, westbound I-696 will be closed from I-75 to Lahser Road for overhead electrical work and bridge deck sounding inspections. 

Portable message boards will detour traffic via southbound I-75 to westbound M-8 (Davison Highway), then northbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway) to westbound I-696. 

The last phase of the Restore the Reuther project is expected to begin Saturday, March 1. Eastbound and westbound I-696 will be rebuilt between Lahser Road and I-75 in 2025-2026, while in 2027, I-696 will have major road work done between I-75 and Dequindre Road. The project includes rebuilding the roadway, bridgework, and drainage structures. 

As part of the project, 60 bridges will be repaired, including the rebuilding of the Church Street Plaza bridge that contains Victoria Park. During that rebuilding, a walkway detour will be in place.

Westbound traffic will be maintained while eastbound and westbound I-696 are rebuilt between Lahser Road and I-75. However, eastbound traffic will be detoured via southbound M-10 (Lodge Freeway), eastbound M-8 (Davison Highway), and northbound I-75 back to eastbound I-696. This project will result in a smoother, safer driving surface, with improved drainage. Project information is available at https://DrivingOakland.com/I696-East/.

Application for the Home Improvement Program

As spring approaches, SOCRRA is here to assist residents with outdoor lawn care through its curbside yard waste collection service and helpful yard waste guide. Through this guide, residents will receive a comprehensive list of yard waste materials that can be recycled and easy-to-follow tips for proper disposal.

Thinking of doing yard work sooner? Winter yard waste is still being accepted at SOCRRA’s Recycling Drop-off Center. Residents can bring up to 10 yard waste bags each day with proof of residency. No appointment is needed for this free service.

SOCRRA’s Drop-Off Center is located at 995 Coolidge, Troy, MI 48084

Lathrup Village Snow Fall Policy

If snowfall accumulations are over 3 inches, the Lathrup Village Police Department will call the DPS staff member on call.

Priority One

All major arterial streets are salted and plowed. These include:

• Sunset Blvd (Roseland to Southfield Rd)
• Santa Barbara Dr (11 Mile Rd to Roseland Blvd)
• Bloomfield Dr (11 Mile Rd to 12 Mile Rd)
• Lathrup Blvd (Lincoln Dr to 12 Mile Rd)
• Rainbow Dr (11 Mile Rd to Southfield Rd)

Priority Two

When Priority One routes are done, crews shift to Priority Two, which includes all intersections and City Hall (during office hours and when the Community Room is booked for events).

Crews salt intersection only where the majority of stopping and turning takes place. This permits "tracking" of salt beyond the intersection, and within a few days after a snow, the area is free of ice or snow for the most part. Concentrating on intersections protects the streets and environment, saving the taxpayers money.

Priority Three

All Lathrup Village Streets are plowed but not salted. This typically includes two heavy plow trucks and one pickup truck which is primarily tasked with intersections and dead end streets.

City Council

The City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, February 24, 2025, at 7:30 PM to consider a special assessment roll against certain properties for delinquent water/sewer billings. A full list of properties is available by contacting City Hall.

The City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, February 24, 2025, at 7:30 PM to consider the creation of a Lathrup Village Public Safety Special Assessment District encompassing the entire City via Public Act 33.

Stay updated with ongoing developments in Lathrup Village by visiting the Planning Commission section of our website.
