Project Overview
Exciting improvements are coming to our community! Construction will soon begin on a new roundabout at the intersection of 7 Mile Road, Sheldon Road, and Center Street to improve traffic flow and safety. The intersection is a key entry point for the City that currently sees congestion, speed concerns, and limited facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists. Addressing this intersection became a critical focus due to the pending Downs Development. This intersection project will prioritize safety for all users, improve traffic flow, and create a context that matches the community’s vision. The project also includes improvements of 7 Mile Road, Wing Street, and St. Lawrence Boulevard.

Project Background
The City of Northville has partnered with OHM Advisors to design and provide contract administration for a roundabout at the intersection of 7 Mile Road, Sheldon Road, and Center Street. OHM worked closely with the City Council, City Planning Commission and the City’s citizen-led Mobility Network Task Force to understand the community’s priorities, share concepts, and incorporate feedback. Coordination with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), and The Downs Developer has been ongoing. The City has also partnered with Wayne County for their input and direction on this project, as the County has ultimate jurisdiction of the intersection.
