ROADS / PRRMA
Why are our roads better than most in Michigan? We own and maintain them!
Pheasant Run Roadway Maintenance Association, Inc. (PRRMA) incorporates three subdivisions and Canton Township. They are Pheasant View at Pheasant Run, Fairways at Pheasant Run, and Fairway Pines at Pheasant Run. The PRRMA Board of directors incorporates a representative from each subdivision and two persons from Canton Township; a five person board.
​
The purpose of PRRMA is to enforce and administrate The Reciprocal Roadway Maintenance Agreement which specifies for each entity the maintenance and repairs of our roads and infrastructure systems. The Reciprocal Roadway Maintenance Agreement directly affects the entire roadway within our three (3) subdivisions and also includes Summit Parkway and Glengarry Boulevard.
​
A portion of the annual assessment we pay each year goes directly to PRRMA. A percentage is placed into a reserve fund which is held by PRRMA for anticipated future expenses, for the maintenance and repairs of our roads. A majority of this money is invested in secure deposits with the intention to increase the amount of cash on hand and to reduce the amount needed from each contributing entity.
​
PRRMA has its own web site at: http://www.prrma.org All of the financials, meeting minutes, contact information and governing documents can now be found at that site. To find out who is responsible for what (sidewalks, driveways, streets), see the the responsibility matrix (.pdf).
What are the "X"s all about?
The Pheasant Run Roadway Maintenance Association (PRRMA) who is responsible for Pheasant View’s, Fairways’, and Fairway Pines’ sidewalks and roads identified $150K in its 2025 budget for the repair of sidewalks in all three subdivisions. The sidewalk repair will be performed by Rotondo Concrete. Canton Township, which is also a member of PRRMA, works very closely with Rotondo on other concrete projects in the Township and has secured competitive pricing for PRRMA.
Work on our subdivision sidewalks will begin in mid-October. The sections of sidewalk designated for replacement are marked with a purple “X” (see attached picture). If you have a section or sections of sidewalk that you believe should be replaced and not marked, please send an email to pvhaboard@pheasantview.org with your name, address, and availability to meet at the site. A Board member will need to review your recommendation and mark the sidewalk for evaluation by our contractor.
2025 Pheasant Run Roadway Maintenance Project
As part of the Pheasant Run Roadway Maintenance Program, Nagle Paving Co., in conjunction with Canton Township and The Pheasant Run Roadway Maintenance Association (PRRMA), will begin asphalt pavement replacement starting Tuesday July 1st, 2025. This work will consist of milling and paving various sections of Summit Parkway.
We will provide traffic control and barricading during the operations, but please be aware of the construction crews and equipment as well as other drivers and adjust your speed accordingly. The process will involve milling the asphalt down a variable depth, cleaning the existing remaining asphalt surface, application of a “tack” coat and installation of a new asphalt surface. Milling will occur on 7/1/25 and 7/2/25. It is anticipated that the paving will take place on 7/7/25 and 7/8/25. All work is weather dependent. Please keep in mind that all work is weather dependent and rain events may affect the entire schedule of the work.
Please note that while working, crews will be adjusting traffic patterns and using an alternating Stop/Slow system with flag controls. Traffic will be diverted to the opposing side of the boulevard in work areas. Please follow the instructions of the traffic control crews and be patient. Once the roadways are milled, the surface will have “bumps” and drop offs. Please drive slowly to protect your vehicle.
Please visit the PRRMA website at prrma.org for additional updates and information.
We understand this is an inconvenience, but please bear with us. This short-term inconvenience will lead to long-term improvements for your community. You may contact Rob Wilson with Nagle Paving Co. at 248-553-0600, ext. 328. if you have any questions.
PRRMA UPDATE - December 16, 2024
As part of the annual road maintenance evaluation, the PRRMA Board enlisted the engineering firm of Spaulding DeDecker to evaluate the curbs and sidewalks of the property under PRRMA's jurisdiction (i.e. Fairways, Fairway Pines, Pheasant View, and Summit Parkway). The following table lists the estimated costs to repair what Spaulding DeDecker identified:
The number highlighted in RED clearly stands out from the audit. Virtually ALL the curbs in the Fairway Pines subdivision need to be replaced. They are all experiencing a condition called ASR (alkali-silica reaction).
(The picture above is an example of ASR)
ASR is a damaging mechanism in concrete that causes it to crack and deteriorate. It happens when concrete is made using certain aggregates that are reactive with alkali.
PRRMA Board member Greg Hohenberger (Canton Twp. Director of Leisure Services) informed the PRRMA Board that this was an issue with concrete that was laid in the early to mid-1990's around Canton. Spaulding did not identify this issue in Pheasant View, Fairways, or Summit Parkway. Fairways, Fairway Pines, Pheasant View, and Canton Twp. contribute ~$350K annually to PRRMA. These funds are used to maintain the roads, sidewalks, and curbs of the PRRMA members. In addition, PRRMA maintains reserves between $250K and $500K. The reserve balance at the end of 2024 is estimated to be $450K.
Obviously repairs of $2.9 million identified by Spaulding DeDecker will take multiple years to accomplish with the funds available. Although Fairway Pines has the majority of the needed repairs, it will be the PRRMA Board’s responsibility to properly prioritized the repairs that are needed in the three subdivisions and Summit Parkway. It has been decided that the curb work in Fairway Pines will not begin until 2026.
In the monthly PRRMA Board meeting held on December 10, 2024, the Board approved the following capital projects for 2025:
Repairs of this magnitude will bring the PRRMA reserves to a level below $100K at the end of 2025. As a result, it was voted by the majority of the PRRMA Board to increase the dues of its members by 10% (the Pheasant View PRRMA representative was the only dissenting vote). This will take Pheasant View’s annual PRRMA contribution from $58,792 to $64,671.
