2013 Road Construction Projects Move Forward in Maple Grove

Shadow Creek, Cobblestone Hills and a portion of 89^th Avenue are among the streets scheduled to have roadwork done during 2013.

After hearing resident questions at a March 4 public hearing, the Maple Grove City Council approved adopting several resolutions approving plans, adopting special assessments and authorizing advertisements for bids.

The street rehabilitation projects “consist of partial reconstruction, that is repair of existing concrete curb and gutter, minor storm sewer improvements and complete removal and replacement of bituminous surface,” according to documents provided to the Maple Grove City Council.

The city funds about 50 percent of the cost of the projects and the affected properties each pay a proposed assessment of $4,225, according to city documents.

Here’s some details on the proposed road rehabilitation projects.  See graphics (right) for specific project locations.
