GROSSE POINTE WOODS — Anyone who has to do business with the Grosse Pointe Woods Municipal Court won’t be able to conduct that business in person for about the next week.
The court closed for renovations April 3 and will remain closed until at least April 12, city officials said.
Public Services Director Jim Kowalski said the renovations in court offices were scheduled to take place as part of ongoing upgrades at City Hall in recent years. He said the work includes new carpeting and cubicles as well as some new electrical lines.
Public Safety Director John Kosanke said the remodeling is “bringing them up to today’s standards.”
“They’re just doing a makeover,” Kosanke continued.
Court employees are still working during this period, but because of the construction, they can’t accommodate visitors, such as people who need to pay a ticket or fine.
City Treasurer-Comptroller Shawn Murphy said residents “can still do business” with the court during this period — just not in person. She said they’re recommending that anyone who needs to pay a ticket, for example, use the city drop box in the Woods City Hall driveway.
For more information about when the court will reopen to the public, see the Municipal Court page on the city’s website, www.gpwmi.us.
