Strawberry Lane Road and Trail Project

Strawberry Lane, Strawberry Court & Peach Circle Updates

Construction Schedule Update: Aug 31-Sep 8

August 31-September 1

Hydrant Installations will be taking place in the Strawberry Court Neighborhood on Thursday, August 31. During this time, crews will be working to keep resident access available during this work, but there may be brief periods where residents may have to wait for equipment to be moved out of the way. Construction staff will continue to help coordinate this with you. On Friday, September 1, crews will be performing miscellaneous site cleanup for the weekend. There is no scheduled weekend work anticipated during the holiday weekend.

September 5-8

Two major construction impacts will be affecting resident access during working hours on the north end of the Strawberry Lane Project. The area circled in BLUE will be the area where residents will need to park vehicles (south of the Strawberry Lane and Strawberry Court intersection) during working hours next week if they need to leave throughout the day. The area circled in RED is where the road section construction will be taking place. The area Circled in MAGENTA is where the water service utility installation will be taking place.

Tuesday, September 5: Roadway Section Construction Begins

Roadway section construction is scheduled to begin at the intersection of Strawberry Court and Strawberry Lane and continue north towards Smithtown Road. Construction crews will be removing and reconstructing the road base a few hundred feet at a time each day. If you need to leave throughout the day during these operations, please park your vehicles south of the Strawberry Court and Strawberry Lane intersection during the working hours of 7AM to 7PM. As road section construction continues, construction staff will coordinate with you for vehicle staging on a daily basis. Vehicle travel will be prohibited through the working area each day. Once the area between Strawberry Court and Smithtown Road is complete, roadway crews will begin constructing the roadway section south of Strawberry Court. Driveway and resident vehicle access will be maintained outside the contractor’s working hours.

Tuesday, September 5 – Wednesday, September 6: Strawberry Court Water Service Installations

The watermain utility crews will be working to complete all water service installations between Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. During this time, vehicle access to Strawberry Court will be prohibited during the working hours of 7AM to 7PM. If you need to leave throughout the day, please plan to park your vehicle south of the Strawberry Lane and Strawberry Court intersection. Once this work is complete, there should be no need for Strawberry Court residents to stage vehicles during the working hours in the near future.

The intersection of Smithtown Road and Strawberry Lane will be closed while construction crews are onsite during working hours. Please utilize neighborhood access from Shorewood Oaks Drive or 62^nd Street while the Smithtown/Strawberry Lane intersection is closed. All traffic on Smithtown Road will be maintained throughout the road section construction.

A temporary water outage is scheduled to take place in the Shorewood Oaks neighborhood later next week. A handout will be dropped off later this week for those who will be impacted.

Please remind guests, visitors, or your contractors to travel slowly and cautiously through the site.

Reminders

Please remove any landscape items that you would like to save that are within the city Right of way area. 

Please label your garbage cans with your address written on duct tape so that crews may be able to move garbage and recycling cans for pickup on days where the roadway will not be passable. We ask that you set these cans out on Tuesday afternoon/evening so that crews can quickly move them to available pick-up locations outside of the working area.

Temporary mailboxes are installed and located along the North side of Shorewood Oaks Drive near the intersection of Strawberry Lane and Shorewood Oaks Drive. This includes mailboxes for all residents living on the Strawberry Lane project and adjacent roadways. To alleviate congestion, ensure mail delivery is not missed, and provide safety measures, it has been placed just outside of the construction. See the below image of the location:

If you have package deliveries that need to be made, please have them sent to City Hall to ensure safe keeping. Delivery drivers will not have access to the neighborhood while construction is taking place. The address is: Shorewood City Hall, 5755 Country Club Rd, Shorewood, MN 55331

Equipment, materials, and supplies will continue to be staged in various locations of the construction area.
