Project Map Back to All Projects

Description
Residential streets in the Fourth-Howard area will be resurfaced in 2024 and 2025 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 (asphalt) pavement.

As part of this project, additional pedestrian improvements will be made in some areas. Improvements will include the installation of ADA-compliant ramps to improve accessibility.

Locations

  • 2024 Phase 1:  Bounded by Old Hudson Road, Minnehaha Avenue, White Bear Avenue, and Ruth Street 
  • 2025 Phase 2:  Bounded by Old Hudson Road, Minnehaha Avenue, Ruth Street, and McKnight Road

Timeline
Phase 1 - Summer to Fall 2024

    Paving Sequence

    New Sidewalks : No Salt

    Please refrain from using salt to remove ice on new concrete installed this year.  Salt will harm newly installed concrete and increase freeze/thaw cycles which can do further damage.

    Sand or grit may be used to add traction and help address icy conditions on new concrete.

    We appreciate your assistance in helping maintain the new sidewalks.
