1) The Road Commission did conduct a traffic survey within the Eastwinds Subdivisions and reviewed the survey with the Michigan State Police. No Parking sign were not considered warranted; therefore, they were removed and will not be going back in.
2) The Road Commission cannot install turning prohibition signs to restrict the use of public roads by motorists.
If you have further questions on this issue, please contact our Traffic Department at 586.463.8671. Thank you.

The parking concern has been brought to the attention of the high school administrators multiple times. They have called the Clinton Twp Police Department to monitor the area, but they can't be there every day so the situation will never truly improve.
I don't agree with a no left turn sign coming into the sub as that is the time I am coming home from work and would then have to take a long, round about way to get home when I live closest to that entrance to the subdivision. However, a stop sign at the corner of McCarthy & Loranger would help slow the student drivers down when cutting through the sub. It would also help avoid a lot of other near collisions that I witness almost daily by all drivers.

So if they are not going to obey a speed limit sign or a stop sign why would they obey a no left turn sign. All of these signs are only enforceable if there is a police officer there to ticket and they cannot sit in our sub every day at 2:30. Also, a no left turn sign would also hinder the non-students trying to get home during those hours. It would just push the heavy traffic to Schultz Estates.
As I stated previously, a stop sign would not just help with the students but with everyone. I can't tell you how many times people assume that everyone traveling west on Loranger is going to turn north onto McCarthy...it's not always the case and there have been too many near misses. A stop sign would cause everyone to slow down and at least look before making the turn.

RE: The situation with the High School students parking on Wrobel St - I have witnessed the school bus having a difficult time turning because there was literally a car (or two) parked in front of every single home near the bus stop. One of which was a resident who, luckily, was outside and was able to move their car to allow the bus to turn. Along with the school bus situation, it is difficult to attempt to drive when you have another car coming toward you. With so many cars parked on the street, there is no place to pull aside to let the other car through, and you sometimes have to back up to give the other the "right of way". This seems very dangerous, especially if an emergency vehicle has to try and navigate through all of these parked cars. Some mornings, it looks as crazy as when we have the subdivision garage sale!
Being a resident of Wrobel, I am 100% behind putting those "no parking signs" back, especially if they are for school hours/days only. I do get nervous leaving for work and I see teens sitting in cars outside of homes. Who knows if they are watching to see when the residents leave to burglarize a home?
There is definitely no shortage of parking spots in the High School lot... I think that most of these teens park on Wrobel because they are trying to avoid the cost of a parking permit (and some may also try to leave early without having to answer to the parking lot attendant).
How do we get these No Parking signs back?
