St. Louis Park's alleyways are getting a facelift, and the latest updates are rolling in for those who navigate the city's back channels. According to a construction update provided by the City on July 12th, efforts have been concentrated on Alley B, where GL Contracting boasts of completing the concrete work as of today.

Next up on the schedule is to quickly begin placing gravel for driveways starting the week of July 15th in Alley B. Residents affected by the construction should brace for inconvenience, as solid waste receptacles will need to be relocated to the front of homes. Meanwhile, paving of these new gravely driveways is slated for the following week, starting July 22nd, per the same update.

Alley C dwellers aren't left out of the equation. The same week earmarked for Alley B's paving, July 22nd, will also see asphalt paving of driveways in their corridor. It's clear the renovations are spread citywide, aiming to upgrade the urban infrastructure steadily but surely.

In an equally transformative stroke, Alleys E and F, south of 14th Street, can expect to see crews rolling in during the week of July 22nd. Residents are urged to keep an especially close eye out for email notifications and posted signs on alley entrances to readily move their vehicles out of harm's way. The City emphasizes that forewarned is forearmed in the face of closures.

For a deeper dive into the details of the work being performed, the City encourages a visit to the project's website. Interested parties can also direct their inquiries to listed project team members. Updates and comprehensive information are available on the 2024 Alley Reconstruction Newsletter for anyone looking for specifics or coping strategies during this period of urban transformation.
