Look and Feel Report Cover Downtown Park

Downtown Park Community Input to be Presented at the City Commission Meeting

More than 1500 individuals shared their thoughts and ideas on a downtown park. Consultants from Nowak & Fraus/LAP Inc. put the results of your feedback into a document called the 'Look & Feel Community Engagement Report.'
We've broken the 308-page document into sections to make it easier to download and view. Take a look at the report at https://www.romi.gov/1338/Downtown-Park-Community-Engagement.
The consultants will present the results to the city commission on Monday, Dec. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 315 at City Hall.

Shovel It Forward

This winter, the City of Royal Oak is asking all property owners—residential and commercial—to join the Shovel It Forward movement and keep our sidewalks free of snow and ice. When sidewalks are clear, we increase the safety and mobility of everyone – from those with disabilities to children walking to school. Find out how you can Shovel It Forward.
