​     Swede Hill Water Main Improvement Project

This Week - June 19, 2017
  • Crews will be working on 4th Street Water and Sewer Services this week.  Property owners in this area should expect temporary water disruptions!  
  • The storm sewer will be installed.
  • Road restoration work will continue on 5th Street.  
  • Ditch work will be done on 7th Street toward the end of the week.
Next week - June 26, 2017
  • Chippewa Concrete Crews will be here to install curb and gutter, and to restore damaged sidewalks and driveways in all project areas.
  • Crews will repair a leaky valve on 4th Street.  It is expected that both the Presbyterian Church and Century Tel Building will experience a short disruption to their water service.  
  • We are hopeful the roads in all project areas will be paved.  Unfortunately if unforeseen issues arise and they are not able to complete this work next week, it will be delayed until after July 4, 2017.    
Please remember, restoration work will continue in the boulevard areas during the next week(s). For complete road restoration purposes Hwy. 13/6th Street may need to be flagged for one-lane traffic.

   Waterfront Walk "Turning Point" Park Project

The primary purpose of this project is to re-develop the "Turning Point" element at First Street and Wilson Avenue into a new park area. The project includes the construction of a portion of the missing Waterfront Trail allowing users to traverse alongside of Lake Superior, the construction of a fully ADA compliant restroom facility, the addition of a safe trail spur so users can safely access the highly used East Dock Park, and creates a new area for public outdoor recreation with the construction of a new park area featuring a donated fountain that will be located directly in the middle of the "Turning Point" area.

This project was bid but only one bid was returned.  The bid will not be accepted since it is was way over the anticipated budget.   The Committee will be meeting to discuss how best to proceed.
