    I'll look to post an update with an approximate schedule later this week. Stay tuned!

    In general we anticipate start up and commissioning of the new station in April, then we have to demolish the existing station, do final grading and restore the site and pave the last layer of the street which will take us into May/June.

    Meg,

    No plans to close the road in the near future. There will be spotty traffic issues as we move cranes or take large deliveries.

    Tom,

    The intersection of 72nd and Cornelia was recently put into service.  The 72nd/Claremore/Oaklawn intersection will remain closed into October.  I will update with a more specific timeline for this intersection when it is known.

    We're looking at opening that intersection to pedestrians when school starts and to cars temporarily around September 20th.  It will be close again shortly for a safe-routes-to-school intersection improvement at a later date.  Keep following the page for updates on road closures.

    Bruce, give me a call to discuss in more detail at 952-903-5713.  

    Here is my advice:

    1. Make sure all your floor, shower and sink drains have water in the traps.  Sometimes low-flow drains dry up and allow sewer gas to flow back into the home.
    2. Identify the source of the smell, external sources of smell include the station itself and exterior vent stacks at each home.
