BIRMINGHAM/BLOOMFIELD HILLS — In November, Eagle voters elected new members to local commissions. Kevin Kozlowski and Bill Kolb were elected to the Birmingham City Commission, and Alan Ackerman was elected to the Bloomfield Hills City Commission.
Kevin Kozlowski
Kevin Kozlowski and his wife grew up in Rochester Hills, and after moving around a lot after college for work, they decided to settle down in Birmingham. He said they were drawn to Birmingham’s walkability, especially now that they have two kids. “Because I have two young kids, I want to make sure that they can be as independent as possible when they go out while also being as safe as possible,” Kozlowski said. “I really have a big focus on making sure that our streets are as safe as possible so the kids who are running around or biking around can have some degree of freedom.” Prior to this position, Kozlowski was on the Advisory Parking Committee for three years. Professionally, Kozlowski is a software developer.
