Nakoma Road Sidewalk 2025
September 5, 2025 Update
Nakoma Road is now closed in both directions at Cherokee Drive as the contractor moves to install the box culvert across the intersection of Nakoma Road and Cherokee Drive. This week the contractor is relocating sanitary and water services to bring the main storm sewer in next week. The culvert project is estimated to be completed by mid-October. The sidewalk project is 90% complete with outstanding items including the pedestrian railing and the electrical equipment for the RRFB crossings.

This project will install a sidewalk on the south side of Nakoma Road, closing a gap in the pedestrian network. This will involve bumping out the curb and removing most parking spots on the south side of Nakoma Road. There is no sanitary or water work anticipated, but storm sewer work will be necessary. No properties will be assessed for this project.
