In response to the severe storm that struck the Charter Township of Kalamazoo on May 15, 2025, causing widespread tree damage, downed power lines, and blocked roadways, the Township Board swiftly and unanimously approved emergency funding for storm debris cleanup efforts. The decision reflects the Township’s commitment to service and its proactive approach to supporting the community in times of need. On June 2, 2025 curbside brush pickup will commence across affected areas. Beginning immediately, tree removal services are being prioritized and evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Residents are asked to place manageable brush near the roadside. For larger trees or more complex needs, residents may submit a service request via the Township website at ktwp.org/contact-and-hours or by calling (269) 381-8080.      

Jenks & Grand Pre Park

Jenks & Grand Pre ParkAfter the 0.3-acre parcel was used by heavy equipment to install the area’s municipal sewer system decades ago, neighbors developed the land into a beautiful park of perennial flower gardens, benches, trees, ornamental shrubs, and a grass lawn area. Community volunteers continue to help maintain the park.

Jenks & Grand Pre Park is located near West Main Street at the southern end of Jenks Avenue and Grand Pre Avenue.
