Construction is expected to begin in mid-June. The Department of Public Works will explain the project and answer questions at a public information meeting at 6 p.m. on May 30 in the Brooklyn Park Middle School media center. The project includes new sidewalk along the west side of Mark Drive from Alden Street north to Hammonds Lane and along the south side of Hammonds Lane from Mark Drive east to the existing sidewalk east of Cedar Hill Road. Road work will include new curb and gutter and regrading to improve drainage.
Residents can expect to see construction equipment, workers and temporary traffic control devices.
Lane closures will be necessary as work proceeds. Motorists should stay alert for changes in traffic patterns and use caution when driving through the construction area. As driveway aprons are being replaced, individual driveways may be temporarily inaccessible. Affected residents will be notified in advance. Anyone who wishes to attend the May 30 public information meeting but requires special accommodations should notify Vicki Hamilton with the Public Works Customer Relations Division at least five working days prior to the meeting.
