The council will delve into the proposed conversion of Hagadorn Road between Grand River Avenue and Haslett Road from four lanes to three lanes for the first time since the Transportation Commission recommended the change on Sept. 17.

The commission voted 4-3 against the change but failed to rescind its original motion from Oct. 16, 2006 when it voted 5-4 in favor of the change. The commission needed 2/3 of its members to vote against the change in order to reverse its recommendation.

Despite the recommendation, the City Council will make the final decision.

“This will be an opportunity for the council to get an update from the Transportation Commission,” Mayor Sam Singh said. “We’ll probably address the issue again the following week and make a decision.”

The council will pick up where it left off two weeks ago when it discussed the proposed construction of a sound wall along Trowbridge Road and U.S. 127.

City officials will reveal information to the council pertaining to the timeline of the project as well as the project’s financial feasibility, Singh said.

Construction of the sound wall would appease residents on Ivanhoe Drive, a street near the intersection of Trowbridge and South Harrison roads, who have filed reports with the city complaining about the noise on the freeway.

The project could cost the city as much as $250,000, according to the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services.

“We’ll decide whether we’ll put the application forward in this year’s cycle or next year’s cycle,” Singh said.
