Plymouth Central Parking Deck repairs under way, tree replacement on pause
Maintenance work at the Central Parking Deck in downtown Plymouth is nearing completion, according to officials from the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), the group managing the repairs.
The upper level of the deck is expected to be closed the week of May 11 as crews make final repairs including sealant and traffic coating, officials said. During this closure, visitors can park all day at the Christian Science Church located at 1100 W. Ann Arbor Tr. All work is expected to be completed by May 22.
In addition, the city arborist has indicated that the majority of the trees on the Main Street median adjacent to Kellogg Park have died and will need be removed. Many of these trees have been in declining health for several years, officials said. As changes to the median are likely during the DTPForward Streetscape project, the “trees will not be replaced at this time.”
A broader street tree replacement program will be part of the streetscape program in coming years, according to the DDA. The Rotary Club of Plymouth plans to add additional plants in the Main Street median later this month. In addition, in mid-May the Adopt A Planter program volunteers will begin to plant flowers in more than 50 public planters around the downtown district. More than 40 clubs, businesses and residents take part in this annual tradition, according to a prepared statement.
The Adopt A Planter program has been ongoing for several decades and has received state and national recognition.
“The Plymouth DDA thanks all of the hard working volunteers that make this program possible,” officials concluded.
