Concord B & C Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction updates will be hosted on this project page. Sign up for email updates!

This project, scheduled for construction in 2024, includes:

  • Complete reconstruction of the asphalt pavement,
  • Complete reconstruction of the concrete pavement with asphalt pavement,
  • Full installation or replacement of concrete curb and gutter,
  • Complete replacement of the majority of the watermain and water services,
  • Improvements to the sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems, and
  • Construction of concrete sidewalks or pedestrian facilities along
    • Concord Avenue between West 64th Street and Valley View Road
    • Wooddale Avenue between Nancy Lane and Valley View Road, and
    • West 64th Street between Concord Avenue and Rose Court.
  • A preliminary assessment amount of $13,400 per Residential Equivalent Unit was approved by the Council at the December 2023 public hearing. This $13,400 per REU amount has been recorded with Hennepin County as pending assessments for all impacted properties. If unforeseen changes do not occur during construction, an assessment cost savings of up to 20% could occur.

    Will you ever be installing a stop sign on Wooddale avenue heading towards the path?

    James W asked 5 months ago

    Thank you for your question.  A stop sign will not be installed with the reconstruction project. 

    Typically a study can be conducted following roadway reconstruction to see if a change for intersection control is necessary. If you would like to inquire about a study in 2025 please reach out to the City's Traffic Safety Coordinator Nick Bauler.

    Sue Hanson asked 9 months ago

    Thank you for your question.  The assessment is due in October 2025.  A mailing will be sent in September 2025 describing the payment options.  

    1. Pay entire amount within 30 days upon receiving the bill to avoid future interest charges.
    2. Pay minimum 25% of the amount and the balance rolls to property taxes over 15 years.
    3. Roll entire amount to property taxes over 15 years.
    4. Payments may be deferred if 65 years of age or older and meet specific income requirements. 


    The previous assessment policy is not financially or legally sustainable. Therefore, the Council approved a street reconstruction funding transition from 100% special assessments to 100% taxes with a transition period of 16-years.  Recent estimates for prior special assessments in neighborhoods with homes of all sizes had climbed to over 30,000, a figure that was not sustainable. Under State Statutes, the City can assess properties for public improvements, but the benefit to property values must be equal to or greater than the assessment. As assessments climb, it may be difficult for the City to prove the market benefit.  See this link for more details.

    Thank you for your question.  The contractor will damage irrigation systems with the road and utility construction.  However, you are not required to move your irrigation system.  The contractor will temporarily cap any exposed portion of the system within the construction limits so the remainder of your system can operate.  Your irrigation will be repaired by the contractor prior to sod installation.  If you have any follow up questions, please reach out to Brandon Freeman.

    B McKittrick asked over 1 year ago

    Thank you for your question.   A portion of your taxes goes to street maintenance like pavement overlays, pavement rejuvenation and patch repairs.  Taxes also cover 36.78% of the roadway reconstruction for the Concord B and C neighborhood.  Unfortunately, taxes do not fully cover street reconstruction.   See this video for more information.

     Assessment payment options include rolling your assessment cost over to your property taxes, spread out over 15 years, with interest.  See this video for more information.

    Godfrey asked over 1 year ago

    Thank you for your question.  The shared use path is feasible on the south side of W. 64th St. We recommended the north side to have vehicles 8’ further away from homes, due to the 8’ shared use path, and because of proximity to potential users from the properties on the north side of W. 64th St.

    Godfrey asked over 1 year ago

    Thank you for your question.  Sidewalks and shared use paths are not assessed to residents with street reconstruction.  Sidewalks and shared use paths are paid for by the Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety fund.  


    The estimated assessments are based solely on the roadway project costs.  Eliminating the sidewalks and shared use paths would cause the roadways widths to widen up to 27’ wide, which would increase the roadway project costs, and subsequently the estimated assessments would also increase slightly.  

     

    See this video for additional information on the project funding sources.

    kjm6313 asked almost 2 years ago

    Thanks for your question.  The project area will be divided into multiple phases so the entire neighborhood won’t be disturbed the entire summer. The contractor will decide how the project will be phased, and when to begin each phase. We won’t know which streets the contractor will start on until April 2024 after the contractor bidding is complete.
