Reporting Pot Holes
Oakland County Road Commission (O.C.R.C.) workers constantly patrol for - and repair - potholes. Citizens and law enforcement agencies also alert us.
You can help. Large potholes, particularly if they are sharp-edged and could damage vehicles, should be reported for emergency response to the Department of Customer Services, 877-858-4804. Or, if you'd like - for Non-Emergency Situations Only - click here--> to Report an Issue and let us know where the problems are.
Potholes are a major problem in Michigan. Our older, deteriorated roads can no longer withstand the constant freeze-thaw climate. As a result, every year, our workers hand shovel more than 8 million pounds of patching material into potholes. Including labor, material, and vehicle usage, the annual pothole repair price tag is approximately $5 million.
The number of potholes on the 1,700-plus miles of paved county roads and 230 miles of state highways maintained by the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) grows larger every year.
The White Lake Township Police Department has been re-engaged for speed enforcement in Lakewood Village for 2026.
We have a new Police and Community Together (PACT) coordinator: Sargent Sutton.
A reminder email with a link to the Road Safety poster will be posted.
An updated Caution statement for the website that can also be used for the email blast.
Lakewood Village Speeding Update 4/22/26
It’s a good time to remind everyone that speeding is still an issue in the neighborhood. There is evidence that it has improved, but there is still need for better compliance.
Once again, we have asked WLTPD to provide strict speed enforcement. Over the spring and summer, you will see the radar trailer deployed in numerous locations to gather data on how we are doing. In addition, Focused Patrols will be conducted randomly to catch speeders.
Dangerous situations should be reported to White Lake Township Police 248-698-4400.
PLEASE do your part to keep Lakewood Village safe!
