Residents on the north side of
Annapolis Road between Middlebelt
and Inkster roads found themselves
blocked fromtheir driveways last week.
The City of Inkster and City of
Westland have joined forces to under-
take a pavement reconstruction project
along the section of Annapolis Road
between Middlebelt and Inkster Road
where traffic is now restricted to a sin-
gle lane eastbound one way and single
lane westbound, depending on phasing.
Drivers can expect intermittent stop-
pages of traffic by flaggers during cer-
tain construction activities.
Officials said the project will be com-
pleted in two phases; Phase 1 includes
concrete slab replacements and repairs
on the south side in the City of Westland
and Phase 2 includes the reconstruction
of the north side which is in the City of
Inkster.
The project began last week and will
continue through July 31, officials said.
There will be no vehicle access into
or out of home driveways and residents
will need to find other locations to park,
such as nearby side streets.
Officials said the driveways should be
accessible after this weekend, however
that completion date is contingent upon
weather and may be extended if need-
ed.
Two dumpsters have been placed at
the corner of Northland and Annapolis
and Irene and Annapolis. During this
reconstruction, residents should place
garbage into these dumpsters. Recycling
will not be collected during construc-
tion, officials noted.

numerous family-friendly activities
including sidewalk sales, a concert in
Goudy Park on Friday, July 13 featuring
Steve King and the Dittilies, a fleamarket,
makers market, and vendor show on
Saturday, July 14. Cruisin' Us-12 also took
place Saturday, drawing car enthusiasts
from all around the state to downtown
Wayne.
Organizers estimate that more than
25,000 people attended the activities this
year. More than 20 Wayne-based business-
es participated in the weekend festivities
by offering sales and extended hours. In
total there were more than 40 activities
happening around downtown Wayne
throughout theweekend, Cameron said.

#3021 and a main organizer for the event
commented, “It was amazing to see so
many longtime residents and visitors take
this opportunity to see what Wayne has to
offer.”
