Wilson Street residents press Mount Clemens for action on overnight noise, flooding and abandoned properties

Residents from North Wilson Boulevard raised multiple quality‑of‑life complaints during public comment on June 18, telling the commission that overnight noise from a neighboring industrial facility continues and that standing water is flooding backyards at several addresses.

Carol Dwyer (240 N. Wilson) said they are still hearing the factory noise that prompted earlier complaints and asked whether the city had followed up; the city reported it had met with representatives from DHL and Chrysler and another meeting was scheduled to pursue mitigation steps. Dwyer also said water is encroaching into garages at several homes; city staff and engineers said no city utilities were found running through the area and that the city would install a pump to try to locate the source while noting homeowners may need private drainage systems.

Wendy Zine (242 N. Wilson) described a guard shack installed behind homes that she said generates late‑night conversations, alleged urination on fences by guards, and truck traffic on streets posted to restrict semis; she requested a natural or man‑made sound barrier and stronger enforcement of posted restrictions. The city advised residents to contact the city manager (Jeff Wood) for coordinated follow up and inspection.

What happens next: staff said they will schedule follow up with engineers and the city manager's office will coordinate responses; residents were told to contact administration (Jeff Wood) to expedite department-level responses.
