2026 Local Roads Program - Curb & Gutter

UPDATE (5/20/26)

Weather permitting, the Township's concrete contractor will begin curb-and-gutter spot repairs and sidewalk ramp upgrades in this area on 6/1. Weather permitting, the work will take 2-2.5 weeks to complete. 

Before paving work begins, damaged or settled sections of the curb and gutter (that are preventing proper road drainage) will be replaced. The Township will not add additional curb and gutter for replacement, and the Township does not replace curb and gutter for aesthetic purposes.

If the curb and gutter across your driveway is removed, there will be a period when you have to drive over your driveway without the curb and gutter. Once the concrete is scheduled for pouring, Lopez Concrete Construction, LLC will communicate with property owners to ensure their vehicles are moved prior to pouring. The concrete will then take 5-7 days to cure. If concrete is poured across your driveway frontage, you will need to park in the street during this time. 

Additionally, any sidewalks crossing the listed streets on the map above will be upgraded to meet current ADA requirements, as necessary. This generally includes lowering existing sidewalk ramps to reduce ramp slopes, realigning existing ramps to improve directional guidance at the crossing, or adding new ramps to provide an accessible crossing.

Pink paint will be used to mark concrete (curb/sidewalk) for replacement in advance of the concrete contractor mobilizing to each area.

If you have sprinklers, an invisible fence, lighting, landscaping, or any other personal property within approximately 10 feet of any concrete that is marked for replacement, it is recommended that you move these items away from the indicated work so that they are not damaged by the project. Although every effort will be made to avoid damage to personal property items adjacent to the concrete, such as sprinklers, the contractor will not replace or relocate these items except to set them back in, or as close as possible to, their original locations. 

Any items located between the curb and sidewalk are in the public road right-of-way (ROW), not on private property. For areas without sidewalks, the ROW typically extends 33 feet from the road centerline. Placement of items, such as those listed above, in the ROW is subject to permitting and approval by the Ingham County Road Department (ICRD). Damage to any items placed in the ROW without proper permits from the ICRD will not be reimbursed or replaced by Meridian Township.

We're sorry for the inconvenience during construction, and we appreciate your patience as we work to improve your neighborhood and our community.

This generally includes lowering existing sidewalk ramps to reduce ramp slopes, realigning existing ramps to improve directional guidance at the crossing, or adding new ramps to provide an accessible crossing.

Pink paint will be used to mark concrete (curb/sidewalk) for replacement in advance of the concrete contractor mobilizing to each area.

If you have sprinklers, an invisible fence, lighting, landscaping, or any other personal property within approximately 10 feet of any concrete that is marked for replacement, it is recommended that you move these items away from the indicated work so that they are not damaged by the project.

Any items located between the curb and sidewalk are in the public road right-of-way (ROW), not on private property. For areas without sidewalks, the ROW typically extends 33 feet from the road centerline. Placement of items, such as those listed above, in the ROW is subject to permitting and approval by the Ingham County Road Department (ICRD). Damage to any items placed in the ROW without proper permits from the ICRD will not be reimbursed or replaced by Meridian Township.
