Presidents A & B Neighborhood Roadway Reconstruction

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. 

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. See our September 5 Fall Progress update for our current thoughts on this.

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.   

Feel free to reach out to Electrical HVAC Supervisor Noah Silver at NSilver@Edinamn.gov or 952-826-0350 regarding the lighting project.  

Thank you. 

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. 

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. 

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.
