Coon Rapids Boulevard Pedestrian Bridge Rehabilitation Project 18-13A

This pedestrian bridge is located northwest of the intersection of Coon Rapids Boulevard and Coon Rapids Boulevard Extension just southeast of Zilla Street. Please direct all questions and concerns regarding this construction project to the City of Coon Rapids Project Manager, Mark Hansen, who can be reached at 763-767-6465.

This project is now substantially complete. The City will repaint the metal bridge railings, bollards, banner poles, bike racks, and benches located in this area under a separate contract within the next few weeks.

The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) is currently rehabilitating its lift station (L34) adjacent to this City-owned pedestrian bridge along Coon Rapids Boulevard Extension. For MCES project schedule and contact information, please visit: https://metrocouncil.org/Wastewater-Water/Projects/Sewer-Planning-Construction-Updates/Projects/Coon-Rapids-L34-805560.aspx

2021 Street Reconstruction Project 21-1 – 3.0 miles of local streets (from 127^th Avenue north of 130^th Lane between Shenandoah Boulevard and Hanson Boulevard plus Bluebird Circle north of 121^st Avenue)

The Contractor for this project is New Look Construction. The Contractor’s main contact is Adam Pohlkamp at 320-980-3637. The City’s full-time project inspector is Zach Pfieffer, who can be contacted any time to respond to specific questions or concerns. Zach can be reached at 763-767-6431 (office) or 612-710-8243 (cell).

Work next week includes topsoil and sod installations in area 1 (streets in the northwest corner of Shenandoah Oaks including 128^th Lane, 129^th Lane, 130^th Lane, Nightingale Street, Martin Street, and Linnet Street). The Contractor will distribute notices on proper care and watering of new sod to property owners. While the Contractor will water the newly placed sod for 45 days, assistance from property owners is needed to ensure proper growth during hot and dry periods of the summer.

Concrete curb and driveway removals are planned for the end of next week in area 2 (streets including 128^th Avenue, Nightingale Street, Jay Street, and 129^th Lane). Property owners will receive notice of these removals mid-week. Driveways will be ramped with gravel to maintain access throughout. New concrete curb and gutter installations are planned to begin in area 2 on July 6 – this avoids on-street parking restrictions over the 4^th of July holiday weekend during the concrete curing process.

ATTENTION RESIDENTS PLANNING ON FULL DRIVEWAY REPLACEMENTS:
If a portion of your driveway apron has been removed as part of the City’s construction project and you are planning to have your own contractor install a full new driveway, please email Zach Pfieffer at zpfieffer@coonrapidsmn.gov with details (property address, timing of installation, etc.). The City will work with you to issue a credit for the work that would have been completed under our project and will direct the City’s Contractor to exclude your driveway apron from its restoration plans.

2021 Street Reconstruction Project 21-2 – 3.6 miles of local streets (streets north of Coon Rapids Boulevard between Flamingo and Jay Streets north to 106^th Avenue, Eagle Street to Avocet Street south of Egret Boulevard, and the neighborhood off Foley Boulevard between 95^th and 97^th Lanes)

The Contractor for this project is Northdale Construction. The Contractor’s main contact is Kevin Topp at 320-493-7369. The City’s full-time project inspector is Jason Huebscher, who can be contacted any time to respond to specific questions or concerns. Jason can be reached at 763-767-6570 (office) or 612-709-2704 (cell).

Work planned for the week of June 21 includes remaining water service connections along Ibis Street and 104^th Avenue in phase 1 of Area 1.

Work in Area 3 (streets east of Foley Boulevard and north of TH 610 up to 97^th Lane) next week includes curb removals along the watermain replacement segments of 97^th Avenue, 97^th Lane, Flintwood Street, and a portion of 95^th Lane. Temporary watermain and service connections will also be performed on these same streets within Area 3.
