Community disruption is expected to continue as the 2024 Pavement Management Update enters various phases across the region. For residents in phase 1 areas, sod installation commenced in the week of July 8, according to the St. Loius Park Minnesota. Beyond simply laying fresh grass, contractors are also raising manholes to their final pavement grade, signaling a step forward toward completion. However, the final pavement's paving schedule remains unspecified with an announcement due soon.
Phase 1 residents can expect the continuation of sod installation into the week of July 15, as per the St. Loius Park Minnesota. The city has advised that during this period, concrete contractors will be concluding any lingering concrete tasks within the same timeframe. Notably, driveway accessibility will be impacted; as new concrete aprons are poured, a seven-day waiting period for the concrete to cure will be enforced, as noted on door hangers distributed by the city.
Meanwhile, for those within Phase 2, the scenario begins to mirror that of their Phase 1 counterparts with concrete installation kicking off on Inglewood Avenue and 39th Street the week of July 8. The city's personnel is slated to start their work on grading 41st Street and Huntington Avenue, prepping these areas for their upcoming concrete enhancements. A "caution" is warranted, as the installation's expansion is set to roll into the following week without a break.
Shifting to phase 3, a significant water main replacement began this week, causing a ripple effect of service interruptions. In a statement designed to prepare residents, the city confirmed the onset of this critical work as soon as temporary water systems were operational, with a targeted few weeks' turnaround for completion. In an incidental twist of timing, allowing for continuation, the replacement efforts will persist into the week of July 15. Affected households experienced a temporary water shutdown on July 10, as indicated by a prior door hanger notification.
As the project evolves, updated information and construction schedules can be found through the city's official bulletin.
