    Restoration on Barrie Road and Heritage Drive is nearly complete. Sod is currently being installed and retaining walls are being constructed. Restoration work is expected to be completed in 1 week.


    The outstanding asphalt and concrete work is to be determined. We have been waiting for Xcel Energy to finish relocating their utilities so we can finish construction on W 65th Street.

    Amy asked 6 months ago

    Unfortunately, no more street lights will be installed.  

    The standard for new street lights is one at every intersection, one at curves, and one additional for longer mid-block stretches.  This is consistent with what was installed between W. 65th St and Heritage Drive.  It appears that an additional light was installed between W. 65th and 66th Streets that wasn’t in line with the lighting layout standard.

    Thank you.

    The driveway aprons for all properties with one access will be poured in halves. This means half of the driveway width will be poured at a time while the other half will be able to be driven on.

    The contractor will do their best to grade the road. However, we cannot guarantee it will be graded at all times which is why we have encouraged people to drive slowly in the project area.


    Storm sewer installation has been ongoing on Barrie Road since last Monday and will continue into early next week.

  • Share Is there a deadline for this project at all? I am asking because half the time, there's no work going on. The crew doesn't work on weekends and when it rains. So basically, they're working on a 2-3 days/week schedule this whole summer. In terms of work, what i've seen is they level the street, then wait for the rain to come, wait for the water to be evaporate for 1-2 days and then level the street again. Sometimes I haven't even seen a single crew on both barrie rd and 65th st. One more thing I've noticed is I'll see the crew working in the morning (disturbing our sleep at 7AM with all the construction noise) and then go away after lunch. The speed at which this project is going on, i don't think it will be done by winter and during winter there won't be any construction, so we are stuck. Just read the market benefit attached to this page and i don't think they ever calculated the cost of delays in their process. Many times i think we were better off without this project when i have to drive my car among those potholes for days and have mini heart attacks due to this project.

    The Contractor is coordinating and scheduling with property management about when the water shut off is occurring. I would reach out to property management directly about updates when the water shut off is happening and how long it will be.

    Yes, the temporary water service will be safe to drink, flush toilets, shower, etc. The water has been bacteria tested prior to connecting to any property. There should not be any sediment or debris in the water.

    Any time sensitive alert such as a gas leak or power outage will be sent out via text along with this website being updated. Any other project update will be posted on this website.
