DPW works on Indian Crossing Trails Park Raceway
Tecumseh’s Department of Public Works (DPW) recently resumed the clearing of brush and shrubs from the natural earth dam that abuts the raceway between Standish Dam and Globe Mill Pond in Indian Crossing Trails Park. Tecumseh City Manager Kevin Welch stated last summer when work on the raceway area began that in 2009 the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) performed mandatory inspections of several water features in Tecumseh and required the raceway be cleared of roots from the naturally occurring bushes and shrubs, which weaken the earth dam.Some patrons of the park were upset by the amount of clearing being done well past the raceway’s embankment but Parks and Recreation Director Shelley Lim assures the public that the DPW will do the least amount of damage possible while adhering to the requirements set by the DEQ. She said the DEQ requires the embankment be cleared at its base by 10 feet.Work on the raceway will extend from Standish Dam to approximately the half-mile marker where the raceway ends at the north end of a small spillway dam.For more information contact city manager Welch at 424.6555 or Parks and Recreation Department director Lim at 423.5602.
