1. I have a drive approach (the area in the driveway between the sidewalk and the end of the driveway to the road) that needs repair. Who do I contact?

The property owner is responsible to repair the drive approach. Whenever work is being performed within the street right-of-way, a permit is required. The permit can be obtained from the Public Service Department on the 7th floor of City Hall. Please call the Public Service Department at 517-483-4455 and request to speak with the permit engineer.

2. My street is torn up due to construction, and I am unable to access my driveway; therefore, I parked on the street overnight and received a parking ticket. Who do I call to get this fixed?

Please contact the Public Service Department at 517-483-4455. Normally, a representative from our office will provide you with a green door hanger that you hang from your vehicle's rear view mirror. Vehicles with this door hanger properly displayed are allowed to park in the street and should not receive a parking ticket. Remember that you are not allowed to park in a prohibited parking zone.

3. I need a road cut permit for sewer work. Who do I contact?

You don't need to contact anyone. Your contractor will obtain the permit.
