CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – Clinton Township Clerk Kim Meltzer drives on Garfield Road every day to go to work, but recently, she noticed an unusual drop in the road.
“It wasn’t a crack in the road. It was kind of a sinking dipping feeling,” Meltzer said.
She said she noticed it got worse in a very short period of time.
“I was just concerned about the safety of the road, and the best way to manage that was to call the right people,” she said. “It was determined it was a very critical issue that needed addressing right away, so I am grateful we have this network of people that care about our community”
Metlzer said her first call was to Scott Chabot with Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick, a consulting firm that works with the township and many other governments across Macomb County.
Chabot said his first impression was that something was very wrong, so he contacted crews to go underground and take a closer look.
“Which they investigated promptly to do an assessment of that,” Chabot said.
