Oakdale Council Approves State Aid Route Designations
The Oakdale City Council approved designating two local roadways as state aid routes during their April 8 meeting, a move that will help maximize the city's allocation of state gas tax funding.
The council unanimously adopted a resolution designating 45th Street from Highway 120 to Granada Avenue and Granada Avenue from 45th to 50th Street as state aid routes. The designation covers approximately one mile of roadway and was recommended by city engineer Brian Bachmire to take advantage of available mileage due to recent development in the community.
"It's important to designate our mileage as soon as we can so that we can maximize our allocation," Bachmire told the council. The two roadways were previously designated as state aid routes but were removed in 2017 to allow designation of Hadley Avenue for the Hadley-Highway 36 interchange project.
The council also addressed nuisance tree abatement, approving action against one property at 3195 Granada North while deferring two other complaints pending proposed changes to city code. Mayor Zaval noted the Granada North property complaint dated to May 2024, well exceeding proposed timeline extensions discussed in a workshop earlier that evening.
The meeting included announcements for upcoming community events, including a property tax valuation open book meeting April 9 at City Hall, Coffee with a Cop at HyVee April 10, and the city's first EcoFair April 26 at Castle Elementary School.
