Pontiac Lake Road, Margie Drive to Arlington Street (2026-2027)

The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC), in partnership with White Lake Township, will host a public information meeting on Thursday, Feb. 12, about the planned 2026-2027 gravel road paving project on Pontiac Lake Road, from Margie Drive to Arlington Drive (between M-59/Highland Road and Teggerdine Road) in the township. 

The meeting will be run from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the White Lake Township Hall Annex, 7527 Highland Road, White Lake Township (the old library behind the township offices). It will be an open-house format — there will not be a formal presentation, but anyone interested can stop in at any time during the meeting to review plans or discuss the project with RCOC staff.

Anyone wishing to attend the meeting who requires special accommodations in accordance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or Title VI, including those requiring language assistance, should call RCOC at 248-645-2000 and ask to be directed to the RCOC Engineering Department to submit your request.
