OMULUS
Council discusses revamped recreation plan
On-call rescue vehicle struck by speeding car
Goodfellows report aid to 110 families this year
The City of Romulus is on the
cusp of updating its Recreation
Master Plan.
The city council hosted a
study session Monday night to
discuss details of the plan, as
well as gather some feedback
into the goals anddirection of the
department.
The plan outlined what has
been done to gradually bring the
parks and recreation department
back on line after budget cuts
forced closures, as well as some
general goals for the parks and
open spacewithin the city limits.
Mayor Leroy Burcroff said it's
designed to be a sort of wish list,
a collection of things that could
happen.
“If it's in the plan, there's a
possibility that we will do it,” he
said. “It doesn't mean it has to
happen. If it's not in the plan, we
can't do it.”
Having an approved recre-
ation master plan is a require-
ment to receivemany grant funds
from the State of Michigan or
federal government.
There are nine parks in
Romulus encompassing about 81
acres, including the 35-acre
Elmer Johnson Park and
Historical Park, which has
become a centerpiece of the
greater downtown area.
The plan suggested several
improvements, including updat-
ing pay structures and the
ground cover at most of them to
bring them in line with current
standards. Other suggested
improvements included: resur-
facing the basketball court and
replacing the backboards at
Beverly McAnally Park, replac-
ing the slide and climber at Mary
Ann Banks Memorial Park,
installing a basketball half-court
at Oakbrook Neighborhood Park-
which was recently redeveloped
to include a dog park and re-
opened-expanding Historical
Park andmore.
The plan also spelled out the
need for additional parkland in
the northern and western por-
tions of the city and allow the res-
idents who would be most likely
to use those parks to have input
on their design. There are 15
vacant acres behind theRomulus
Senior Center currently being
used by the Romulus Little
League Football Association that
the city should try to acquire,
according to the plan. It has an
existing walking track as well as
3 to 5 acres of woods.
Elmer Johnson Park could
benefit froma 24-acre expansion,
a path system to connect the vari-
ous activity areas and new rest-
rooms.
The former Henry Ruff Park
could be enhanced in the short
term by clearing the brush that
separates the northern and
southern sections and in the long
term by constructing baseball
fields and related amenities.
Julie Wojtylko, director of
community services for the city,
said grant funds would be crucial
because of the limited resources
the city has.
“We have a very limit budget
for recreation, but we're happy to
have recreation at all, so we
won't complain,” she said.
TheRecreationMaster Plan is
available on the city web site.
The city council will formally
adopt the document next year.
The New Year didn't start on a
good note for members of the
Romulus Fire Department who
were called to the scene of a
rollover hit and run accident in
the early morning of Jan. 1, only
to have another driver crash
headlong into a rescue truck.
According to official reports of
the incident, the Romulus Fire
Department was dispatched to
eastbound I-94 just west of Wayne
Road at about 3 a.m. Jan. 1 after a
report of a rollover hit and run
accident.
Emergency medical workers
treated the driver of one of the
vehicles involved in the accident
at the scene, while the driver of
the other vehicle, which had
apparently crashed into the first
car, causing it to rollover, had fled
the scene.
The treated driver was not
transported to the hospital.
Michigan State Police appre-
hended and arrested the other
driver within hours of the inci-
dent.
At about 4 a.m. while Romulus
Fire Department crews were at
the scene of the accident attempt-
ing to clear the area of debris and
collect evidence, another driver
crashed into one of the rescue
vehicles at a high rate of speed.
Officials said there were no
firefighters or rescue personnel
in the vehicle at the time of the
impact and no injuries were sus-
tainedby any of the fire crew.
The driver of the vehicle, how-
ever, was trapped in the wreck-
age of his car and unconscious
after the accident. Romulus fire-
fighters extricated him from the
vehicle and hewas transported to
University of Michigan hospital
via Survival Flight Helicopter. He
was in critical condition upon
transport.
The investigation of the acci-
dent has been referred to the
Michigan State Police and all of
the vehicles involved have been
impounded, awaiting the results
of that probe.
Officials said that at this point,
there is an ongoing criminal
investigation.
Romulus Fire Chief David
Allison had some good news for
members of the city council dur-
ing their last meeting before the
Christmas holiday.
Allison
reported
the
Goodfellows organization had
raisedmore than $30,000 this year
through contributions, paper
sales and donations. He said that
there were still contributions
coming in from local businesses,
too.
“This is a great city to live in. I
am truly thankful to live in this
city,”Allison told the officials.
He added that with the funds,
and a small balance from last
year, the Goodfellows used more
than $37,000 to help families in
the programthis year.
“We agreed, with the small bal-
ance, to give that to the partici-
pant in the program. We were
able to help 110 families this year
with food vouchers, gift certifi-
cates. We were able to help twice
the number of children this year.
We helped 245 children in
December with gift cards and
toys donated by companies,” he
said.
Allison said the gift cards were
generous and in amounts of $50
and that each of the children in
the program also received a hat
and mittens. He added that the
Goodfellows also helped with
seven adopted families this year
andwere also able to help several
seniors.
“My heartfelt thanks to every-
one who donated or participated
in any way, whether selling or
buying papers or donating or vol-
unteering,” he said. “This is a
great community.”
There was more good news
from the police department
where interim Public Safety
Director Jadie Settles explained
that Trustee R. P. Lilly from
Huron Township had called to
notify him that the township had
been given 50 bicycles from the
U.S. Marines Toys for Tots pro-
gram and that 25 were available
to the Romulus Police
Department.
“We delivered the bikes to
needy kids, some to honor roll
kids at schools some to kids with
perfect attendance at school. We
have a couple in police cars for
officers touse,”
Settles said. “We are really
grateful.”
Councilman
William
Wadsworth noted that Lilly
always has his heart in Romulus
and does whatever possible to
help the community.
“He always says he lives 100
feet from the city,” Wadsworth
said, “andhe does.”
At the suggestion of Mayor
LeRoyBurcroff, the councilmem-
bers unanimously agreed to a res-
olution of gratitude to Lilly for his
helpduring theholiday season.
