Having lived in Oak Manor for several years, I have witnessed firsthand the deterioration of our neighborhood roads. It is disheartening to see the lack of action from the county and township, despite our continuous pleas for improvement. The roads in Oak Manor, Niles, MI, are not just deteriorating—they're becoming hazards to our daily lives. Potholes, cracked surfaces, and poorly maintained roadways are not only unpleasant to drive on but dangerous.

Every time it rains, standing water accumulates throughout the neighborhood due to inadequate drainage, posing a risk to drivers and pedestrians alike. The stagnant water damages the road even further and becomes a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Additionally, the current width of the roads is insufficient, often making it challenging for delivery trucks, garbage trucks, and school buses to access residents' homes safely and efficiently, especially when cars are parked along the street.

Our neighborhood deserves proper infrastructure that ensures safety and convenience for all its residents. By widening the roads and installing adequate drainage systems, we can mitigate flooding issues, improve road safety, and ensure that service and emergency vehicles can move through our community without hindrance.

Improving our roads will not only enhance the quality of life for current residents but also increase property values and attract potential homebuyers. Investing in our infrastructure is investing in our community's future.

Join us in urging the county and township to take immediate action to repair and upgrade the roads in the Oak Manor neighborhood. Sign this petition to demand the safe, accessible, and high-quality roads that we deserve.
