Project Map

The project map shows two types of street repairs. Streets will get a reclaim and overlay, which means the old pavement is completely removed down to the gravel base. Roads will be gravel for a couple of weeks while repairs are made, then new pavement will be added.

Schedule:
The project will begin in spring 2027 and will be completed by fall 2027. Work will take place from Monday to Friday, between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m., with occasional work on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Project Reminders:

Some homeowners have installed irrigation systems and/or invisible fencing adjacent to the street. Because these private structures are within City right of way, they are in the path of the project and must be moved. To avoid spending tax dollars to relocate private irrigation and fence systems, homeowners are responsible for temporarily moving or relocating their own systems. This work should be completed prior to construction.

The flags and markings in your neighborhood represent the general location of the utilities (gas, water, sewer, electrical, phone, cable, etc.) and are critical to minimizing the potential construction impacts to existing utilities.

For safety and to protect utilities from damage and interrupted service, law requires anyone who wants to dig on either public or private property to first contact Gopher State One Call for underground utility locating. This law applies even if no permit is required for excavating work.

Once the utilities have been located they are marked with paint and flags using standardized color coding:

Blue = water
Green = sanitary and storm sewer
Red = electric
Orange = communications (telephone fiberoptic and cable TV)
Yellow = gas

Garbage and recycling should be picked up as scheduled. Please continue to have your garbage and recycling curbside by 7am on your service day. The garbage and recycling contractors will collect in street project areas on schedule. Please continue to report any missed pickups to your respective garbage or recycling contractor.

Weather, delays by subcontractors, or other unforeseen events can cause schedule changes. The contractor makes an effort to notify residents as soon as possible for situations where utility or driveway access restrictions may be experienced.
