October 6, 2025 ~ As the city of Woodhaven continues to make improvements to its infrastructure, residents can expect some changes in their daily commute. Starting from October 6th to October 10th, the city will begin installing raised crosswalks and paving the bike lane on Wood Street to Itasca Street.
