Please watch the informational videos about how projects are funded (special assessment, pedestrian and cyclist safety, utility and MnDOT funds), a typical project timeline, how you will be impacted, how you can prepare, and more. Please also complete the online survey on whether you would attend a neighborhood wide in person Q&A meeting at a City facility. If favorable results are received, a meeting would occur in November.
We hope you find these videos informative, and we anticipate they will generate questions. Your questions can be submitted on this web page, or you can reach out to us by email or phone.
