Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Troy public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Proposed Troy Youth Advisory Council
Fifty students packed chambers behind a proposal to create a 10-15 member youth council that would advise council, run voter registration drives, and organize volunteer networks at no cost to the city. Council reached consensus to have staff research how one could work, citing Open Meetings Act questions.
Park Shade and Benches
The new inclusive playground is officially open, funded in part by about $250,000 from Oakland County plus a CDBG grant, built with ARC of Oakland County.
Inclusive playground opens at Boulan Park
Leftover federal grant money ($67,949) plus a new $318,000+ construction contract will complete the all-abilities playground at Boulan Park by June 30. Design input came from Arc of Oakland County participants and parents.
Turtle Woods parkland preservation
Mayor Pro Tem Chanda reported that funding closed and the Turtle Woods property transferred to Oakland County — about 70 acres of green space and wetlands that will become a public natural park with trails, expected within about a year. Preliminary plans were approved in July.
Disc golf course safety at Firefighters Park
Residents say the redesigned disc golf course at Firefighters Park puts baskets and flying discs too close to the walking path, posing a danger to walkers. Staff already relocated five baskets and may add signage; the course should be finished by mid-July.
