The online survey is open until March 1 on the new legislator's website.
If you have an opinion about Michigan's roads and bridges, and Gov. Rick Snyder's plans to fix them, State Rep. Mike McCready, R-Bloomfield Hills, wants to know. The freshman legislator launched an online survey through his office website designed to gauge input from constituents on what the proper course of action is to fix and improve transportation routes statewide. During his State of the State address, Snyder proposed major increases in gasoline, diesel and vehicle registration taxes to fund $1.2 billion in road repairs. McCready has yet to endorse any proposal and said he needs to hear from constituents in Bloomfield, West Bloomfield and Birmingham first. The survey closes on March 1.

The Oakland County Federal Aid Committee meets Monday in Beverly Hills to discuss several projects.
Members of the Oakland County Federal Aid Committee will discuss how to allocate nearly $2.4 million in additional federal road funds headed to the county in 2013 during a special meeting at 9 a.m. Monday in Beverly Hills.

Bloomfield Township will close and resurface Andover Road off of Telegraph this summer. What road is in worse shape?
A street connecting the Bloomfield Township municipal center, Andover High School and the Bloomfield Hills Schools Administration Offices to Telegraph Road is getting a facelift. Andover Road, which connects with Telegraph just south of the Bloomfield Township municipal center and the 48th District Court, will be closed from Exeter Road for resurfacing beginning in late June. It will be the first major work on the roadway since it was built in 1981, and the project will likely last two months, said Wayne Domine, the township's director of engineering and environment. Domine said it has been 15 years since any patchwork occurred on the two-lane road and that its current condition is very rough. The Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees …
