The last I heard was that Tienken was suppose to be converted to 3 lanes between Livernois & Sheldon. When is this going to happen?

Road Commission (Guest)

We expect the widening and reconstruction of Tienken between Livernois and Sheldon to start late in 2013, but with the majority of work taking place in 2014. This will involve widening the road to three lanes and the construction of a roundabout at the Livernois/Tienken intersection.

Traffic Light Needed Open

2593 Crooks Rd Rochester, MI 48309, USA - Rochester Hills

Trying to make a left off Enterprise Dr. onto Crooks Road is very dangerous because of heavy traffic north and south of M-59. Also trying to cross from MacDonalds across the street to Enterprise takes forever because of traffic. A traffic accident waiting to happen if it already hasn't.

Use Northfield Drive one block south (which has a light) to make your left turn onto Crooks.

Is this person stupid? Put a stoplight a couple hundred feet from the one at M-59? Use Northfield - solves your problem although it might take a couple extra minutes to get your Big Mac.

Speeding drivers Open

421 Drexelgate Pkwy Rochester Hills, MI 48307, USA - Rochester Hills

Almost all motorists on Drexelgate Drive drive over the speed limit. The posted speed limit is only 25 MPH, but drivers go 5-10 over almost all the time. Occasionally driving 15 or more MPH over the limit. Although according the City of Rochester Hills, this is a safe walkway to Hamlin Elementary without any sidewalks! This road needs to go on a diet to encouage drives to drive slower through the dense residental area (perhaps with a bike lane, especially since it goes almost to the Clinton River Trail) and sidewalks need to be installed.

Yes, we need sidewalks! The residents in this area (myself included) risk their lives everytime they try to walk down Drexelgate. I walk my child to school and fear for our safety every day. I have seen an increase in police presence since the construction started on surrounding roads (thus making traffic worse on Drexelgate) but it hasn't helped much. I regularly get PASSED while driving the speed limit. Last week I was passed, honked at, and flipped off, for going 25mph. My house will be on the market soon due to this.

Speeders Open

Texas Ave. Rochester Hills, MI - Rochester Hills

People use Texas/Oklahoma as a shortcut to north Brewster and avoid light on Walton. 40-50 mph is not uncommon. Sheriff is willing to respond, but unless you get a plate # they can't do much. And we can't expect them to be here 24/7. Some of us have asked the city to install speed "humps" (not bumps...humps are lower and wider) but city said it would interfere with snow plows. Yet Powderhorn Ridge, less than 1/2 mile west, has them. (Do they use different snow plows over there?). The demographics of Texas Ave. have changed over last 10 years, more young families with kids have moved in. This is an accident waiting to happen, and maybe after somebody's kid gets killed the city will react. But this is now on record, and the city has been served with notice, and there is no excuse for the city to say they "didn't know". You know now.

Those tubes are used to count the number of vehicles only, not to check speed. We use them frequently for traffic volume counts, but not to check speeds.

I never implied that Oakland County Roads used the strips for checking speed, only Macomb. I was mentioning the fact that you do have them available. Are you saying the strips/tubes you have are different than the ones used in Macomb County, and yours are not capable of containing digital time information necessary to extrapolate the contact time differences between point A and point B? If not, maybe you should update your equipment? By the way....I notice your strips/tubes are always used in pairs, spaced a few yards apart. What might the reason for that be if not for measuring speed? Why can't someone from the county offer these homeowners a little HELP instead of shooting down someone who offers them a potential remedy to their problems? I notice the county has yet to respond to original complaint in 10 months since posting, yet I get a negative response to my suggestion within minutes.

Cut through and speeding Open

Potomac And Roseview Rochester Hills, MI - Rochester Hills

Morning traffic uses this subdivision as a cut through to avoid traffic from Adams High school and Van Hoosen middle school. Excessive speeding is common. Unsafe conditions for children walking to school.

Thanks for the response. It really wasn't an issue for the RCOC anyway.
My comment was more a slam for this website. Why they would send this issue to RCOC didn't make sense anyway. The RCOC has always been very responsive.
This is really an issue for police enforcement.

As for the comment from Resident11, I never said it was RCOC's domain. That is just where this website sent it to, which is why this site is useless.
As for the "call the city!" yelling comment..... well, duh! Thanks genius.
The city and police have been contacted repeatedly every year over the last 20 years by our sub association.
They do not have a resolution.
The only resolution is to widen Adams and Tienken to handle the morning traffic so people do not become impatient and endanger children in their haste.

If you're really serious about this issue (and it seems that you are), I'd suggest you go to the next city council meeting, get on the agenda to address the council and spend a couple of minutes, on record, voicing your concern about this. It would help if you had other residents backing you as well. Almost guaranteed that something will happen.

Street light! Open

3946-3998 Butler Rd Rochester Hills, MI - Rochester Hills

There needs to be a light installed at the intersection of Adams and Butler! It is really hard to turn left on that intersection and there is a high amount of traffic! I always watch people turn and sometimes there is an accident bound to happen any min! It is very dangerous and some people have children in the car!

I agree, there is an urgent need for a signal or stop signs on adams and butler. I hope the road commission will stop giving template answers and actually do something. 4 stop signs don't cost much!

Road Commission (Guest)

This is the information shared on the other similar posting. It is not a "template answer" -- it is specific to this location.

This was investigated in 2009 when there was a campaign by local residents wanting a traffic signal installed. At the time we met with the City of Rochester Hills and the two adjacent property owners on the east side of Adams Road (Church and School). We told them the location would meet warrants for a signal if the two properties would combine their access to one location across from Butler Road. Additionally, other significant roadway geometric changes must be made to this intersection before a signal can be installed. We have been working with the City of Rochester Hills on a project for improvements and signal installation. However, no funding source has been identified at this time. It will also requires "buy-in" from the two property owners and some funding on their part. No timetable has been established at this time due to lack of funds.

Speed bump in the road Open

2001-2019 S Rochester Rd Rochester Hills, MI 48307, USA - Rochester Hills

In the right hand south bound lane of Rochester there is a serious bump, while it sucks when going straight over it, it is even worse when turning off of west bound Hamlin. Feels like the back of my truck shifts sideways, very dangerous! I crawl around that turn now.

Need to Widen Butler at Adams Open

Adams And Butler Rochester Hills, MI - Rochester Hills

There is almost always difficulty getting out onto Adams from Butler road due to the traffic volume on Adams. Many have suggested adding a light here but, short of that, widening Butler to create a right turn lane would at least alleviate some of the back-up. Currently Butler is only a single lane, turning right is much easier than turning left but right turners are held up by left turners which is very frustrating.

The change I am suggesting does not include a traffic light. It would only involve widening a short stretch of Butler to create a right hand turn lane. This should drammatically reduce the line-ups that occur mainly due to left turning traffic even when normal traffic levels return. The line-ups and long waits have been made worse by the current construction on Crooks and Livernois but have always been a problem.

2012-09-18 · Flag Flagged
KC (Guest)

Why are there three major contruction projects scheduled at the same time all affecting north south traffic routes in parallel? With Rochester Rd under reconstruction and Livernois and Crooks closed it seems to be poor planning that has resulted in the traffic burden of Adams. Adams is already a heavily traveled road when all roads are open. Turning right out onto Adams is extremely difficult and to turn left is next to impossible and you pray that you are not behind someone that wants to turn left. While I support actions to improve our intersection, I also understand that it is not something that will take place over night. I support John Q's statement to add a right turn lane to exit Butler. It would also be nice if the opposite end of Butler was paved providing more viable alternative route.

Road Commission (Guest)

KC: A number of factors affected the schedule of projects in the Rochester area this year. First, the Avon and Livernois bridges were unplanned emergency projects. Both bridges were deteriorating far more rapidly than had been expected. With the help of Rochester Hills, we were able to make a strong case and get the funding for both moved up. Other wise, Avon was scheduled to be funded in 2013 and Livernois in 2014. There was the very real danger that we would have had to close both of them this year and keep them closed until the funding became available (in 2013 and 2014 respectively). While far from ideal, we felt it was better to replace them ASAP. The City of Rochester Hills strongly agreed. As for Crooks, the federal funding being used would likely have been lost if we had not used it this year. We did not believe that was a good option, as this work is desperately needed. When that project was originally scheduled, we did not anticipate Livernois being closed for the bridge. We do not have any funding available to widen or pave Butler, and don't anticpate having any in the foreseeable future, unfortunately.
