    Thank you for your question. The mushrooms are temporary.  They are a combination of organic topsoil, humidity and likely over-watering. The organic percentage in the topsoil is at 13 percent, which is within the specified organic range of 6-15 percent and good for growing.  Once the contractor watering period stops, the mushroom issue should cease.

    Driveway aprons for asphalt driveways that were poured on 6/5 have already been ramped in as of last night. This includes properties on the south block of Harrison Ave, Tyler Ave, south side of Belmore Ln, and Tyler Ct. Properties that are ramped in are free to use their driveways. Properties with concrete driveways must continue to park on the street for 5 days after the pour on 6/9. 

    Driveways aprons for asphalt driveways that were poured on 6/8 are still curing. This includes properties on the north block of Harrison Ave and north side of Belmore Ln. Those properties must continue to park on the street to allow the concrete to cure for 5 days. Once the concrete is cured the asphalt driveways will be ramped in and are free to use their driveway. Concrete driveways are expected to be poured later this week as weather allows.

    Thank you for your question. Please reach out to Chris Moore if the signs are laying down and he will coordinate with the contractor to ensure they are upright.

    Sod watering is scheduled to resume some time during the week of 4/27. We will inspect the sod and make replacements if necessary. Once this process is complete, residents will get a letter in the mail saying the sod warranty period has concluded.

    Thank you for your question.  No changes to the assessment amount due to the project completion date extending to 2026.  At this point, we're still anticipating a final assessment less than $8,600 per REU.

Now after concert and asphalt have been poired there’s talk that the gutters need to be ripped out because a valve was put in the wrong place.

    It can look like crews are digging in the same spot over and over, but each visit usually has a different purpose. One subcontractor might replace a watermain, another subcontractor comes back to connect water services, and later the street contractor re-opens the area to finish the road base. It may seem repetitive, but that sequence is normal — it allows the appropriate contractor to do each part of the job sequence, which ultimately leads to higher-quality, longer-lasting results. City staff is thoroughly inspecting the project and has no concerns about poor quality workmanship.  

     

    If you’d like more details, feel free to call us. Thank you.

    Thank you for your question.  Utility reconstruction work is occurring on Washington Avenue, therefore trucking routes will spill onto other streets for the next couple of weeks. 

    As noted in our weekly Better Together Edina posts, vehicles cannot be parked on the street during construction.  There is temporary parking allowed on Maloney Avenue.  If you need clarification or additional details, please reach out to the site inspector Brandon Freeman.

    Thank you for your question.   Asphalt driveways are scheduled to be permanently restored sometime during the week of 7/21.   Temporary restoration with gravel will occur at the end of the day on Wednesday, 7/16.  

     Asphalt driveway work must occur after the roadway asphalt is complete and is a different paving machine than the roadway machine.
