    Larkin asked 26 days ago

    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.

    Elle asked 4 months ago

    Thank you for asking.  We prefer the City does the watermain improvements BEFORE any private sewer line work occurs. Please have your contractor coordinate schedules with Brandon Freeman.  Occasionally, the City's watermain work will impact a private sewer line, and we'd prefer not to impact a newly improved private sewer line.  

    Thank you.

    Karla Palmersheim asked 5 months ago

    Thank you for your question.  There are two options for plantings:

    1. Do nothing and the City will replace impacted plantings with the project at the conclusion of construction at no additional cost to you. 
    2. Move the plants back 10 feet from the existing curb yourself to avoid damage by construction. 
  • Share Hi again! Just a few more questions I've thought of.. 1. If we decide to make private utility repairs before (or even after) the roadway construction, can that amount still be added to our assessment / property taxes? 2. There's a slight disconnect/misalignment right where our sewer line meets the city connection (at about 60 feet out). Would that be up to us to fully replace? Or would the city fix their connection to align with ours? Thanks! on Facebook Share Hi again! Just a few more questions I've thought of.. 1.

    Katie B asked 5 months ago

    The deadline to sign up for private utility repairs that that you would like added to your assessment / property taxes is BEFORE the asphalt pavement is complete in front of your home. That date can vary by street depending on the contractor’s progress.  Reach out to staff for estimated deadline depending on which street you live on once construction begins.

    The City isn’t proposed to replace a portion of the sewer service.  Property owners are responsible for repairs all the way to the City’s sewer main in the middle of the street.  We do recommend your contractor coordinate with Brandon Freeman.

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately we cannot videotape the kickoff meeting.  However, we will send out a frequently asked questions packet that will be very similar to the agenda for the kickoff meeting.  Here is an example of that FAQ. Residents can also reach out to staff with questions and comments. 

    Thank you. 

  • Share Hello! I have a few questions: - We live on the west side of Monroe, and it sounds like we’re losing anywhere from 1 to 3ft in the front yard. Please confirm? Also, we do have an in-ground sprinkler system..if any part of our system is damaged during construction, will the city pay to repair? - We’re thinking of paying to re-line our sewer, in conjunction with the roadway project. (We’re in the midst of getting a few quotes). Can that cost be tacked on to our property taxes, paid monthly over 15 yrs? If so, is there an idea of what the interest rate would be?

    Thank you for your question. Responses:

    • You are correct, the curb will move approximately 2-3-lf closer to your home on the west side of Monroe Ave.
    • Your irrigation system will be impacted by construction.  The Contractor will crimp the line at the construction limits and you may use your system for the remainder of your lawn. The contractor will repair your irrigation system at the conclusion of the project at no additional cost to you.
    • You may add private utility repairs to your assessment / property taxes, which are spread out over 15 years with interest.  The interest rate will not be determined until fall 2026, when the city’s finance department will research 2026 interest rates.  The rate is historically between 3 and 6%.  
      • If you decide do this, please coordinate with Liz Moore.

    Thank you for your question. Assuming you’re referring to 410 Monroe Ave, your large pine tree is NOT scheduled for removal by the project.  If there are any concerns with the branches during construction we will contact you to discuss.   

     If my assumption is incorrect, please email or call Aaron or Brandon to discuss.
