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.

    We appreciate your assistance in helping maintain the new sidewalks.
