Project Overview

The City is planning to reconstruct Elmside Blvd (Oakridge Ave to Atwood Ave), Sommers Ave (Miller Ave to Elmside Blvd, and Center Ave (Miller Ave to Elmside Blvd).

The project includes the replacement of sanitary sewer and laterals, water main, storm sewer main and laterals, curb and gutter, gravel base, asphalt pavement, and pavement marking. The sidewalk will be spot replaced as needed. The curb ramps will be replaced at the intersections to provide better access to pedestrians crossing the streets.

The project will also include connecting new sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer to existing facilities along Atwood Ave at Elmside Blvd as well as remove a portion of the asphalt pavement in the outside outbound lane (away from downtown) from Miller Avenue to Marquette St. Lane reductions are anticipated during construction.
