Councilman-at-Large, Lakewood City Council
A direct note from your councilperson, every couple of weeks.
I'm Tom Bullock, and this is where I share what's happening at City Hall, in our neighborhoods, and around Lakewood — with current updates and ways to stay informed and get involved.
About
I've lived in Lakewood for more than 20 years and I’m proud to be raising my family here with all three kids walking to Lakewood schools.
I serve on Council because I want our city government to be as responsive and straightforward as the neighbors on my own street. This site and my newsletter are how I keep that promise between Council meetings — a direct line from my desk to your inbox, sharing what Council is working on, what's happening around town, and how to get involved.
“This is a personal project for Lakewood residents — independently created to share information, provide context, and keep our community connected.”
Out on Detroit Avenue — Lakewood's small businesses are a big part of what makes this city work.
What I’m working on
Happening Now & On the Horizon
Historic character & neighborhood quality
Caring for Lakewood's historic housing stock and buildings as a foundation for stronger blocks and streets.
Walkability & healthy neighborhoods
Building on what already makes Lakewood walkable, so healthy daily life is built into our neighborhoods, not something we have to drive to.
Safe, welcoming neighborhoods
Keeping Lakewood clean and family-friendly, and making sure every resident — whatever their background — feels at home here.
Smart commercial growth
Shaping new commercial development so it brings in residents and shoppers while still fitting the scale and feel of Lakewood.
Parks & recreation
Growing our investment in parks, sports fields, and recreational programming across the city.
Small business & local shops
Backing the artisan shops and small business owners who give Detroit and Madison their character.
Survey Results
Lakewood Power Outage Survey
Our residents spoke up and shared their experiences about the real impacts on their households.
The Lakewood Update
A useful mix of City Council news, important issues affecting Lakewood, local businesses and people making a difference in our community, and ways to speak up and take part — from my desk to your inbox every couple of weeks.
