Businesses in close proximity to the intersection of Northwestern Highway, Orchard Lake Road and 14 Mile Roads are feeling some pressure. The construction of a new $40 million roundabout in the area has taken its toll on many of the restaurants and stores in the area. With sales down, some stores have been forced to close their doors or let go of some of their employees. While businesses are being hit hard, residents of the area are also concerned about safety. Officials are confident the roundabout will improve safety and that business as usual will resume once construction is completed in November.
