St. Louis Park Neighborhoods Brace for Additional Roadwork, City Assures Communication and Access During ConstructionSource: St. Louis Park, MN

Residents in St. Louis Park should brace themselves for more roadwork as the city's contractor, GL Contracting, gears up for another week of construction on Alleys B and C. The latest communiqué from the city details the ongoing progress as well as what the neighborhood can expect in the coming days. According to the official update, workers have been pushing ahead on Alley B, tearing up the old surface and making way for a new storm sewer infiltration system, a task that will span over the next several weeks. Residents are reminded, albeit with the disarray poised outside their doorsteps, to keep all solid waste receptacles in front of their homes until completion.

Over in Alley C, a new concrete pavement layer is now down, but there's a catch: it needs a week to cure before crews can address the restoration work around the site. 'Asphalt driveway connections will be temporarily backfilled with gravel,' and in a few weeks, final paving will commence. In the interim, residents are expected to play their part, setting solid waste containers ahead of their residences so as not to hinder the construction ballet that has become of these streets.

Quality of life during this reconstruction phase isn't taken lightly by city officials. They've assured that residents will be given ample warning ahead of any alley closures. These notices will be dispatched via email, with physical signs to be planted at alley entrances well in time for locals to maneuver their vehicles out of garages to avoid being trapped in their own homes.
