Residents of St. Louis Park should prepare for a bit of a shuffle this week as crews from Michels Corporation, a contractor authorized by CenterPoint Energy, are rolling up their sleeves to replace natural gas mains along Westwood Hills Road and Utah Avenue S. Starting Wednesday, September 18 through Friday, September 20, the area east near house #7915 down to the intersection will see these infrastructure updates extending south on Utah Avenue S.
According to a CenterPoint Energy project update, parking will catch a snag—being restricted on both sides of the street where the work is happening. This includes Westwood Hills Road and through the wooded area leading out to Utah Avenue S. For those parking behind the townhomes #1327-1323, an easement staked out in the woods will bring construction right to their proverbial backyards.
If locals have queries or their patience wears thin, they can connect directly with the source. CenterPoint Energy is swinging its doors wide open to communication, providing a website with hefty details for the digging-deep community members. Not only that, but Hannah Gullickson, the company's Communication Specialist, is the go-to person for the scoop—reachable at 612-321-5546 or via email at [email protected].
Meanwhile, CenterPoint Energy extends a cordial note of appreciation to its customers: "We appreciate your patience as we’re upgrading our infrastructure. We wish you a great season!" While changes may ruffle some feathers, these statements sit in the nest of progress—the company affirmed. Residents could therefore see these urban modifications as a brief inconvenience paving the way for a more efficient and hopefully reliable energy future.
