St. Louis Park residents should prepare for some disruptions in the coming weeks as CenterPoint Energy begins replacing natural gas mains along several local streets. According to information from CenterPoint Energy and reported by govdelivery.com, the construction is set to start around Friday, September 6, and is estimated to wrap up by Friday, September 20. Michels Corporation, an authorized contractor for the utility company, will conduct the work, which will span Boone Avenue S., Cavell Avenue S., and other connecting roads.
Residents should be aware that parking will be restricted on both sides of the mentioned streets throughout the duration of the project. Specifically, the work will stretch from Boone Avenue S. and Club Road to Flag Avenue S., and move northward on Cavell Avenue S., west on 24th Street W., and south on Decatur Avenue S. to complete the loop on Club Road. The project aims to fully replace the existing main, a process that will inevitably require temporarily closing down certain segments of roads and sidewalks.
These closures include a portion of Boone Avenue S. north from Club Road and sidewalk sections nearing the intersection of Club Road and Flag Avenue S. and again near Boone Avenue and 25th Street W. While such infrastructure upgrades can lead to a temporary inconvenience, they are also crucial to maintaining the safety and reliability of the natural gas supply.
For those seeking further information or to address any concerns, CenterPoint Energy has made provisions.

CenterPoint Energy has expressed appreciation for the patience of residents as they work to upgrade the area's natural gas infrastructure through their outreach on govdelivery.com. They also extended well wishes for a great season amidst these necessary service improvements.
