It all started here.
Since the downtown project got underway, several Main Street bars and restaurants have closed, claiming business had dropped off because customers have nowhere to park. Customers and vendors interviewed by The News believe the popular Farmers Market is in danger because of parking issues.
Opponents of the downtown project sued the city to stop the development, alleging Royal Oak officials violated state law and city ordinances.
The new project proposed at Main Street and Catalpa, about a half mile north of downtown, has been met with some objections from the staff of the city Planning Department, who wrote a memorandum advising the Planning Commission to require traffic, parking and impact studies before making any recommendations to the city commission.
Incorporated in a village in 1891 and a city in 1921, Royal Oak is located in the southeastern corner of Oakland County, just north of Hazel Park and Ferndale.
