Andrea Washington, Hazel Park City Council Member

It’s been a very busy week post election, but I want to take a moment to say Happy Veterans Day. As the grand daughter of two veterans and someone with many family and friends who have served, I don’t think a single day on the calendar is enough to pay respect to them. They deserve more in return for what they have given and endured for this country.
Thank you veterans for your service and sacrifice.

There were a lot of history makers in the area, and I am proud to be listed among them!

Metro Detroit communities elect first-ever Black city officials across area Clarence Black asked the city of Berkley to "Bet on Black" - which they did - making him the first Black city council member - in the city's history.

🤍A huge thank you to MY TOWN Market for your continued generosity to our community. MY TOWN is giving away free turkeys for Thanksgiving this year.

If you know of a family in need, please direct them to this post (one turkey per household).

You must visit their location at 21504 JOHN R ROAD and SIGN UP.
Deadline to sign up is Wednesday November 15th.

I am honored to have been elected as your new city council member. Thank you so much for entrusting me with this opportunity to make a positive difference in our community. I love Hazel Park and I’m proud to call this home. I am even prouder to be chosen to represent the interests of the people that live here. Your support truly means the world to me.

Tomorrow is Election Day! Heartfelt gratitude for all your unwavering support and encouragement throughout this election season. I’ve already shown my dedication to the betterment of this city, and I promise to keep working tirelessly for our community, listening to your concerns, and advocating for our collective well-being. Regardless of outcome, I will continue serving this city to the best of my ability. Let's stay connected and keep the momentum going beyond this election.

The petitions are in, accepted, and off to the county! I want to give a big thanks to everyone who helped me get on the ballot by signing my nomination petition.

As chair of the Environmental Sustainability Committee, I want to see Hazel Park become part of more initiatives to help the environment. Take a break from mowing and use the month of May to focus on your gardens! Our pollinators will love you🐝 🦋

In an effort to protect our environment and our local ecosystem, the City of Hazel Park Environmental Sustainability Committee is encouraging residents to participate in LOW-MOW MAY from now until May 22nd, and delay the first week or two of your normal lawn maintenance routine.

This will help to provide a healthy habitat for endangered pollinators to thrive. If you elect to participate in this program, and place the participation sign below in your window, Code Enforcement will not take enforcement action against your residence for tall grass or weeds until enforcement resumes on May 22nd.

Participation signs are also available for pick up at the Building Department in City Hall. The Environmental Sustainability Committee will also be providing education and information about environmentally friendly lawn maintenance practices, and alternative ground cover options during this time.

The City of Hazel Park reserves the right to take enforcement action in instances where health and safety are threatened, such as fire prevention and pest control.

Please be respectful of your neighbors whether they, or you, choose to participate, or not. Working together, we can provide a healthy future for Hazel Park!

SPECIAL ITEM PICK UP BY DPW

Concrete will be picked up only on your first two street maintenance days in May. Residents may put out a maximum of one cubic yard. One cubic yard is equal to 3 ft x 3 ft X 3 ft. Otherwise residents can take it to State Crushing on Sherwood north of 10 Mile Road. Please call them for details at (586) 757-3612.

Next Saturday! Contact DPW via the phone number on the flyer with any questions.

Hello,

I believe in its present and future and want to see our 2.8 miles squared reach its potential while keeping the same feelings of home for its residents.

Ask me about my dogs.

Thank you for your support!
