Board votes $45,000 for paving east side of Clarkston at intersection with Orion. Road Commission says 14 crashes in last 3 years- that paving to give traction may reduce.

Road Commission of Oakland County suggested this to Township Manager Joseph Merucci recently. There have been 14 crashes here and 4 people said lack of traction here contributed. My understanding is that they could not accelerate as fast as they expected to.

Based on resident comment below about a line-of-sight issue at this intersection, I have alerted our Township Superintendent, Joseph Merucci and asked for a response. This in now Sentinel Issue #99. If you want to support or refute what the resident said in comment below – contact Township Superintendent Joseph Merucci at 248-651-4440 Ext 214 or jmerucci@oaklandtownship.org.

9/25/25 correction – the original post gave incorrect street name of Gunn Rd.

  1. Line of sight is also a problem! If you are on West Gunn, you can’t see the traffice coming from NW Orion. It has alway been dangerous!
