Title
Resolution to Decertify Five Streets Not Being Used as Active Roadways
Memorandum
Public Act 51 of 1951, as amended, requires that road segments shown on the official Act 51 map that are not presently being used as active roadways be formally decertified. Five such locations, a total of 880 feet, have been brought to the City's attention by the State of Michigan. The following Resolution will authorize the decertification of these locations that are presently shown erroneously as active streets on the Act 51 map.

These locations, shown visually on the attached maps, are as follows:

* White Street immediately north and south of Stadium Boulevard. White Street once intersected with Stadium, but no longer does, requiring a change it its total length.

* Valley Drive/Rose Drive. These streets are shown as connecting on the current map, however they do not actually connect.

* Haisley Drive (east end). The street is shown on the map extending too far to the east.

* Oak Hills Drive. The street is shown on the map extending slightly too far to the west.

* Thaler Avenue east of Garden Circle. This segment of Thaler shown on the current map is not a public street.

Upon approval by City Council, the Street Administrator for the City will have these locations removed from the Act 51 map prior to submitting the certified copy back to the State of Michigan.
