Petition grows as Rochester Hills businesses fight Rochester Road construction traffic plan
ClickOnDetroit | WDIV Local 4
A petition is gaining traction as local businesses in Rochester Hills unite against a proposed traffic plan for Rochester Road. The plan, they argue, would significantly impact their operations due to increased traffic congestion.
"This construction project will create a nightmare for our businesses," said John Doe, owner of a local café. "It's not just the inconvenience; it's the potential loss of customers and revenue."
The businesses are concerned about the lack of communication and input from the community regarding the project. They believe that a more collaborative approach is necessary to find a solution that benefits both residents and local commerce.
The petition, available online, has already collected hundreds of signatures from both local residents and business owners. It calls for a reevaluation of the traffic plan and encourages the city to explore alternative solutions that would mitigate the negative impact on the area.
As the petition continues to grow, business owners hope to bring their concerns to the attention of city officials and ultimately influence the final decision regarding the Rochester Road construction project.
