with purchase of new roof or siding project.The Road Commission of
Kalamazoo County was honored with
three statewide IMPRESS Awards
and a People’s Choice Award at the
2024 County Road Association of
Michigan Highway Conference held
in late March in Lansing, the group
said in an April 9 press release.
IMPRESS Awards recognize county
road agencies that demonstrate inno-
vation on noteworthy projects in
the categories of Communications,
Operations and Collaboration.
The Road Commission of
Kalamazoo County (RCKC) received
an IMPRESS Award in Collaboration
for “Lake Street project collabora-
tion;” an award in Communications
for “Township Lunch and Learns;”
and an award in Operations for “Chip
sealing light.”
“Road Commission of Kalamazoo
County’s outstanding three awards
prove they have a deep commitment
to safe operations, cost effectiveness
and external communication,” saidDenise Donohue, CEO of the County
Road Association.
The Collaboration award: In 2023,
RCKC managed a project on Lake
Street with the City of Kalamazoo
and Kalamazoo Township, consisting
of water main replacement, sanitary
sewer and sidewalk installation, road
reconstruction and drainage improve-
ments.
This collaborative approach reduced
time, cost, user delays and wear-and-
tear on the road, the County Road
Association said.
The Communications award: RCKC
introduced “Lunch and Learns” in
2023 as a new opportunity to meet,
collaborate and chat with its township
partners.
The Operations award: Two years
ago, RCKC introduced a modified
signal light into its chip seal opera-
tions.
This light replaced the use of hand
signals and “has been effective in
increasing safety, accuracy and effi-ciency out on the road projects.”
This entry was also awarded the
People’s Choice Award.
An independent panel of com-
munications and operations experts
from several of Michigan’s 83 county
road agencies judged all IMPRESS
Awards submissions.K’zoo Road Commission honored with four state awards
