The City of Royal Oak is in the midst of a process to write a new master plan. Many portions of the present master plan are over 20 years old and conditions within the city and more broadly have changed sufficiently that the city has decided a new plan is warranted. To date a number of topics have been discussed and proposals made, but the first draft has not yet been written.

Public input and input from the Planning Commission has been gathered to date. Many differing viewpoints are being considered in the process, with the intention to balance goals and concerns and to align where appropriate with professional best practices.

We want to hear from you. Take the Master Plan Survey.

Fall Curbside Leaf Collection

Here are a few things you need to know:

Over the several weeks, we’ll be doing two full circuits, meaning we’ll be visiting each street twice.
The last date for the curbside leaf collection is Friday, December 8.
If you see us on your street on a day that is not on the schedule, don’t worry we’ll be back on the pre-scheduled day, unless notified. This means we are ahead of schedule or are doing an extra pass through!
SOCRRA accepts leaf drop-off through December 18. For more information, visit: socrra.org.
If you see your neighbors, help us spread the word and give them a friendly reminder to get their leaves ready and to remove their vehicles from the street!

Find out when we’ll be coming to your neighborhood.

If you have any questions, please call us at 248.246.3300.

Dogs are safer when they are on a leash.

Dogs are Safer on Leashes

Friendly reminder: According to city ordinance, all dogs must be on a leash in Royal Oak parks!

Let's keep our furry friends safe and happy by following this rule. Not only does it ensure the safety of your beloved pets, but it also helps maintain a positive and secure environment for everyone enjoying the park.

Remember, a leash is a pup's best accessory for a fun and worry-free adventure! Keep those tails wagging, and let's make our parks a haven for both two-legged and four-legged friends!

Listen Up, Royal Oak!

The new City Commission chamber offers an assistive listening solution that delivers clarity to those struggling to hear in a big room that can at times be crowded. The device (shown in the photo) is easy to use.

If you are interested in trying one, please call the Human Resources Department at 248-246-3070 in advance of any meeting you are planning to attend. We’ll be happy to have a listening device ready and waiting for you!

Residential Lock Boxes Available at the Fire Department

The Royal Oak Fire Department’s residential lockbox program is designed to get quick access to adults living in their own homes during medical emergencies -- especially senior citizens. When every second counts, the lockbox -- which contains a key to your home -- reduces the likelihood of property damage caused by first responders forcing entry into your home in response to an emergency call.
