The plow came through and left potholes so deep as to make the entrance/exit from Waldon into the Montclair subdivision as almost impossible.

FOR QUICKEST RESPONSE, REPORT POTHOLES DIRECTLY TO RCOC
Beverly Hills, Mich. — The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) asks residents and motorists to contact the agency directly to report potholes and other road safety issues.
"Several Websites now encourage motorists to post road safety concerns,” noted RCOC Managing Director Brent Bair. “However, these sites do not share these complaints directly with the road commission."
If pothole complaints are called or e-mailed directly to the Road Commission, they are addressed as expediently as possible. Residents can contact RCOC’s Department of Customer Service directly via phone (toll free) at 877-858-4804 or through the Road Commission’s Website, www.rcocweb.org (click on the “contact us” button).
The Department of Customer Services is staffed weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. The best way to report a non-emergency problem after hours is to file a report at the RCOC Website. For emergencies during non-business hours, contact the RCOC dispatch office at 248-858-4895.
"We take the safety of motorists seriously," Bair said. "The best way to have a concern addressed on the county road and bridge network is by directly contacting the Road Commission. When using alternate methods to report potholes, there is often an unnecessary delay leading to additional frustration and potential damage to
vehicles."

Eric: We understand your frustration. Please understand, though, that it's the same people who drive the snow plows, clean out the clogged storm drains, clean up the downed trees, etc., etc., etc. As you might guess, they've been extremely busy this week. While the potholes you reported are certainly important, we cannot stop salting, resolving flooded roads and other emergency operations to repair them. We will truly get to them as quickly as we can, recognizing we must prioritize the service requests we receive the tasks we must do.
Thank you for your patience.

If it wasn't the plow that caused the problem, I would certainly agree with you.
The fact that it was your plow that caused the problem and I get a similar response to yours regardless of the method used to report the problem to me is indicative of an organization that has forgotten WE the homeowners and tax payers, pay YOUR salary. Unfortunately we have no recourse but to wade through your bureaucracy and suffer through the lackluster performance.
The roads in and around the Montclair subdivision have NEVER been in worse shape and they continue to degrade under the "ownership" of the Oakland County Road Comission.
The majority of the time I see your trucks they are parked on the side of the road with 1-2 people sitting in them, lights on and motors running, burning gasoline and not driving. Im sure its a thankless job but I would also love to see your entire organization thoroughly investigated for fraud and waste.
Thanks for causing further damage to our cars, lowering our property values and increasing our disgust (not frustration) with the Oakland County Road Commission.

In May of 2002 we were told Waldon between Baldwin and Clintonville was "on the 10 yr MDOT plan to be paved".
Its now 13 years later. When will Waldon be paved?

Eric: There is no MDOT plan for paving county roads, and the Road Commission does not a have a 10-year plan for Waldon. Unfortunately, this section of Waldon is not on the Road Commission's 30-year gravel-road paving plan. We do not receive any revenue when new subdivisions are built. We receive only enough funding to pave one mile of gravel road each year. We currently have 760 miles of gravel roads in Oakland County under Road Commission jurisdiction. The top priority roads for paving are including in our 30-year plan, which is compiled based on input from the community leaders. Waldon east of Baldwin is included on the list, though no funding has been identified, and there no schedule or estimate for when it might be paved.

If a realtor told you Waldon would be paved in 10 years, they were mistaken. The Road Commission has never indicated there was a 10 year plan for Waldon. In fact, we tell people that if the road is gravel when you move in, assume it is likely to stay gravel.
