Description
East Shore Drive from Wheelock Parkway to Larpenteur Avenue will be resurfaced in 2023 through a process called mill and overlay to create a smoother roadway surface. Crews grind off the top layer of roadway, then replace it with a new layer of bituminous pavement. The project will include pedestrian improvements at East Shore Drive and Larpenteur Avenue.

Location
East Shore Drive from Wheelock Parkway to Larpenteur Avenue

Mill and overlay and pedestrian improvements on East Shore Drive are substantially completed. There may still be some additional clean up and punchlist work, including boulevard grass seeding.

    Pedestrian Improvements

    The city’s sidewalk division will make pedestrian improvements:

    • Install ADA-compliant ramps to improve accessibility for people using strollers and mobility devices.
    • Install bumpouts (curb extensions) and medians to narrow the road and provide a shorter crossing and better visibility for people. Narrowing the road also encourages slower driving speeds.
