City of New Buffalo issued the following announcement on June 5
The City of New Buffalo is working to develop a strategy to address the poor conditions of Marquette Drive within the City of New Buffalo.
With the construction work currently underway in Union Pier, people have been taking alternative routes through the community and many have noticed the poor condition of Marquette Drive. According to City Manager David Richards, “Addressing the needs along Marquette Drive is more complicated than other road projects we have undertaken in the City. While the road is technically in the City, it is actually a private road owned by the adjacent property owners.” The City is working with Abonmarche and the Curcio Law Firm to create an agreement that would allow the City to make needed improvements to the road and then be reimbursed by the owners.
If everything proceeds as planned and the owners agree with the proposed approach for addressing the improvements on Marquette Drive, the work will be completed in the Spring of 2021. “While this is a private road, the City wanted to offer its assistance to facilitate the improvements for the safety of both the residents and the entire community that uses the road”, stated Mr. Richards.
