Fireworks return to Romulus on Saturday, June 29

After an absence of two years, fireworks will return to the City of Romulus!

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Lee Steel, Safiedine Trucking, Public Service Credit Union, Airlines Parking, US Park and Qwik Park, the city’s fireworks display will begin at 10 p.m. Saturday, June 29, behind schools at Wick and Ozga roads.

The fireworks will be visible from the area of Romulus Middle School and Wick Elementary School. Food vendors will be available.

The return of the fireworks was announced in Mayor Alan R. Lambert’s State of the City Address in January. Since then, the sponsorships were secured, enabling the fireworks to be displayed without funding from the city’s general fund.

The Romulus Rotary Club has generously taken the lead on presenting this year's fireworks and has expanded on the city's efforts. Fireworks fans are encouraged to arrive early to get their favorite viewing spot.

“We’re just excited about being able to assist the City of Romulus bring the fireworks back to the citizens,” said Rotary President Gary Staffeld. “People obviously enjoy the fireworks and we always got some pretty big crowds. The Rotary Club is grateful that the city came to us and asked if we could help make it happen. We were happy to jump in and do what we could.”

The Rotary also organizes the annual Parade of Lights that kicks off the Romulus Pumpkin Festival. This year’s parade begins at 8 p.m. Friday, September 20, starting at City Hall and traveling along Goddard Road through Five Points.
Road and sewer improvements begin in Romulus; Study Session scheduled for future Goddard Road work


The first in a series of planned road and storm sewer improvements is under way in the City of Romulus.

Crews are resurfacing Tobine Road from Shook to Wick Road. The half-mile section of work starts at the Romulus Historical Cemetery on Shook, continues past the west entrance to Romulus High School and ends at Wick.

The project includes road resurfacing, drainage improvements and culvert replacement at driveways.

Roberto Scappaticci, assistant director of the Romulus Department of Public Works (DPW), said the project is ahead of schedule and should be completed in mid-July, weather permitting. The section of Tobine is closed to local traffic during construction. Detour signs are posted.

Al’s Asphalt Paving is performing the work. Scappaticci said the project was bid through the Michigan Department of Transportation and Al’s was the lowest pre-qualified bidder.

Eighty percent of the project is funded by $646,400 in federal aid that is part of $3.4 million in total funding awarded to the City of Romulus for road projects. The city is required to provide only 20 percent of the funding for the improvements.  Click here for full story
