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

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.

See the proposed roadway widths, including parking, sidewalk, or shared use path locations. Per the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, Concord and Wooddale Avenues have sidewalks and shared use paths proposed, respectively. Staff is trying to balance the recommendations of this plan with reasonable connections to parks and schools. Due to constraints with an 8’ shared use path along Wooddale Avenue, adding a shared use path along West 64th Street between the Rosland Park Bridge and Concord Avenue is being proposed.
