Oakdale Council Approves $5.8M Street Reconstruction Project
The Oakdale City Council approved a $5.8 million street reconstruction project Tuesday that will rebuild approximately two miles of neighborhood streets east of Greenway Avenue.
The project covers streets in poor condition in the area bounded by Greenway Avenue, Hudson Boulevard, Grover Avenue and Sixth Street. About half the streets will receive water main replacement, with all water mains dating to 1966 and experiencing multiple breaks in recent years. The work includes pavement rehabilitation, curb and gutter replacement, and LED street lighting upgrades.
Special assessments totaling $1.09 million will cover about 18 percent of the project cost, with residential properties paying $55 per foot of frontage for pavement work or $79 per foot where curb and gutter replacement is needed. The remainder will be funded through city utilities, bonds and other sources, with the largest portion coming from the utility system at $1.8 million.
Two residents spoke during public hearings, with Brian Rinsky of 142 Greystone questioning whether his street needed reconstruction and Dannyelle Le of 154 Gram Avenue North expressing concern about the financial burden on residents. City officials noted a hardship deferral process is available for qualifying residents.
Construction is scheduled to begin in May and reach substantial completion by September. SE Engineering will submit final plans to the council March 11, with bids due April 22.
