May 25th Updates
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkOn June 30, Grange Road between 50th and the west City Hall Parking Lot exit will be closed for two weeks to complete a storm sewer connection and replace the concrete. The northbound highway 100 off-ramp will be open but traffic will be routed to Eden Avenue. Access to northbound highway 100 will be from 50th Street.
Starting the first or second week of June, the Eden Avenue, Grange Road and Willson Road Intersection will be closed for the summer. Look for a signed detour route utilizing 50th Street, Benton Avenue and the West Frontage Road. Access will continue to be provided to local residents and businesses along the East Frontage Road. Sidewalks will also be closed as it will not be safe to enter an active work zone. Please refrain from cutting through the active work zone. We continue to have problems with pedestrians and cyclist entering active work zones at other locations. This is not safe.The closure is anticipated to last until the end of August.

May 18 Construction Update
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkThe Eden Grange Roundabouts Project will most likely have some traffic control changes next week. There is a storm sewer crossing that needs replacement across Grange Road just north of the west City Hall entrance. The northbound highway 100 off ramp will be open but traffic will be directly south to Eden Avenue and detoured either east or west. Access to northbound highway 100 will be either from eastbound or westbound 50th Street. There will not be access from Grange Road to northbound highway 100 during this temporary work. The work is expected to last 2 weeks in order to install the new pipe and replace the concrete. Thanks

50th Street Concept
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this linkThe concept on 50th Street is a 3/4 access intersection at Dale Dr and the City Hall entrance with protected left turns, right in - right outs, and expanded off street pedestrian and bike facilities. It also improves the traffic signal at 50th Street and Grange Road. The benefits of this concept are;
- Reduced vehicle and pedestrian conflict points from 32 to 10.
- Safe queuing for left hand turns within dedicated medians.
- Reduced Vehicle Speeds - medians provide traffic calming by narrowing lanes.
- Reduced severity and frequency of most crash types.
- Improved pedestrian facility - wide shared use trails on both sides.
Thanks, Chad Millner, City Engineer
