Next week in Area 2 (streets including 128th Avenue, Nightingale Street, Jay Street, and 129th Lane), crews are scheduled to complete boulevard restorations by Tuesday (8/24). Sod installations will begin late next week.

In Area 3 (streets including 127th Avenue, 127th Lane, 127th Circle, Nightingale Street Cul-de-sac, Killdeer Street, Ibis Street, the remaining section of 128th Avenue not included in Area 2, Grouse Street, and Bluebird Circle), asphalt base pavement installation will take place on Wednesday (8/25). Asphalt driveway restorations in this same area will take place both Thursday and Friday next week (8/26 and 8/27). Boulevard restorations in Area 3 will begin after the asphalt base pavement is placed. Mailboxes will be re-installed in Area 3 next Tuesday (8/24).

Roadway sub-cutting and gravel base tolerancing will continue in Area 3 until Tuesday (8/24). Roads will be congested during this process. Property owners are asked to be patient while the work takes place and allow construction vehicles to safely get out of the way during the work. Access will be interrupted between driveways and certain Area 3 street segments at times, and the specific locations of this work will change throughout the day.

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.
