OMULUS
Employees in Romulus went over and
above their job duties this winter, salting and
plowing roads and then taking on a massive
pothole repair project.
Mayor LeRoy D. Burcroff and themanage-
ment in the Department of Public Services
decided to go just as far with a special thank
you for the employees who demonstrated
such dedication and professionalismwith the
hosting of a pig roast for the workers at the
end of theApril 17work day
“Winter took its toll on roads in our city
and throughout our region,” Burcroff said.
“Our city employees faced the challenge
head on. During and after snowfalls, crews
worked around the clock, doing their best to
eliminate public safety concerns on our road-
ways. Our pothole hotline has allowed us to
eliminate hazards quickly and efficiently.”
Romulus has more well-traveled roads
than most communities because the city is
intersected by two freeways (I-94 and I-275),
plus all of the commuting to and fromDetroit
Metropolitan Airport, but city officials have
long felt that Romulus gets far less than its
share of state road funding.
While Wayne County is responsible for
maintaining freeways and some major roads,
the city workforce takes road maintenance
personally, according to Robert McCraight,
director of the Romulus Department of
Public Services (DPS).
Once the city established a pothole hot-
line, (734) 942-7579, the DPS received two
dozen to three dozen calls a day, according to
DPS clerk Debbie DeMoisey. The goal was to
repair potholes on city-maintained roads
within a 24-hour cycle. City staff also alerted
Wayne County about potholes on county
roads.
With the pothole repair program well
under way, Burcroff was one of the first may-
ors to sign on for the “pothole challenge”
establishedbyWXYZ-TV (Channel 7).
The extensive number of potholes prompt-
ed city officials to take it a step further, creat-
ing “Pothole Friday.” March 21 was a sched-
uled unpaid furlough day for city employees,
but any employee who showed up to work
that day was placed on one of several pothole
repair crews.
McCraight said the results were astonish-
ing. Twenty employees were divided into sev-
eral crews that were assigned specific jobs on
specific routes that were determined based
on road condition and the amount of traffic
typically serviced on those routes. McCraight
said together employees put down more than
50 tons of coldpatch in one 8-hour shift.
“With the extreme amount of potholes on
the roads, we went to the employees with a
different idea: a group effort,” McCraight
said. “All job classifications that reported to
workwere placed on a patch crew, regardless
of official job title. If you came in, you were
repairing the roads.”
Some employees worked to install the
patch, while others supplied patch for the
crews.
McCraight said his crew “used 10 truck-
loads of patch that day, which, according to
reports at the end of the day, was not an
uncommon number among all patching
crews.”
Equipment operator Charles D. Sharrow
praised the teamwork that went into the
effort.
“I think it was a huge success for the
administration and the workers,” Sharrow
said. “Management and the Teamsters came
together to satisfy our citizens.”
Sharrow said he appreciated the adminis-
tration working side by side with DPS
employees “so they see what we go through
on a daily basis. With potholes, you deal with
traffic, inclement weather and everything
else. It's a real physical effort. It can be
exhausting.”
The passenger in a single-car
accident last Sunday on Ecorse
Road in Van Buren Township was
killed while the driver remains
hospitalized in critical condition.
According to police reports of
the incident, officers were dis-
patched, along with the Ypsilanti
Fire Department and Huron
Valley Ambulance, to the area of
Ecorse Road, west of Denton
Road at about 9:41 p.m. April 27.
When officers arrived on the
scene, they found a 2008 Chevrolet
Cobalt on fire after crashing into a
tree.
Paramedics from the fire
department and Huron Valley
Ambulance treated John
Hagadorn, 19, of Ypsilanti, at the
scene for multiple injuries. He
was transported by ambulance to
the University of Michigan
Hospital in Ann Arbor where his
condition was listed as critical,
according to police. The identity
of the passenger in the vehicle
whowas fatally injuredhas not yet
been releasedby police.
The Ypsilanti Township Fire
Department helped extinguish
the vehicle fire and the VanBuren
Township Accident Investigation
Team responded to the scene
where evidence was collected.
Preliminary results of that investi-
gation indicate that the Cobalt was
traveling westbound on Ecorse
Road when the vehicle left the
roadway, struck a tree and ulti-
mately caught fire, police reports
said. Investigators are looking at
speed and alcohol as potential
contributing factors in the inci-
dent, reports said
The passenger's identification
is being pursued by both the Van
Buren police and the Wayne
County Medical Examiner. Police
have requested anyone with infor-
mation or questions regarding the
incident contact Lt. Kenneth
Floro at the Van Buren Township
Department of Public Safety, (734)
699-8915.
Passenger killed as car crashes into tree, burns
City workers rewarded for ‘Pothole Friday’ work
City of Romulus Department of Public Services employees and other staff members were
thanked for their work on winter road crews and pothole-repair crews during a pig roast after
work hours recently. Mayor LeRoy Burcroff (back row, right) helped the workers celebrate
and pose for a special photo for Ordinance Director Jean Watson who is retiring after 27
years with the city. Watson was unable to attend the event and enjoy the special cake made
for her so her fellow workers sent her this photo.
