Have you noticed that some of our community roads are closer to gravel roads instead of paved roads? It’s no secret that our roads are aging quickly. The yearly crack filling and spot fixing is a very short term band-aid. So what can we as a community do about it?
The first step is to get a FREE quote from the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC). The ONLY requirement is that at least 50% of the homeowners on any given street submit their interest to RCOC. While a few of our streets have met this 50% requirement, most have not. We encourage you to fill out and sign the interest card, located below, and return it to In Rhodes office via, email, fax or mail.

Mailboxes

Have you noticed a leaning mailbox? How about a mailbox with peeling paint? The wide variety and condition of mailboxes in our community has created quite an eyesore. In an effort to keep our community looking great, the Board has agreed upon a community wide mailbox that is sturdy in construction and will create a uniform appearance. Please review the useful information below!

Phragmites

The Board has approved action to prevent the spread of Phragmites in our community. There has been a number of opinions, for or against Phragmites. The fact is that the type of Phragmites we have in Country Creek is a, non-native, invasive species that will continue to flourish and negatively impact our community. Phragmites monopolize resources of the natural vegetation and quickly changes the natural balance of our wetlands. Some residents have voiced concern over the look of the dead Phragmites. Once the Phragmites have been killed, the natural vegetation can begin to regrow. This is not an overnight process, but over time the natural flora will return to the area.
