Construction crews have been hard at work on the Lake Street construction project. In the last couple of weeks, the contractor has installed a new water main along Lake Street from Broadway Avenue to Manitoba Avenue, as well as new storm sewer drains and street light systems. Currently, the contractor is completing the stormwater treatment facilities and is preparing for sidewalks and other features in the new Plaza Park. Sidewalk, trail and street light construction will continue over the coming weeks, as well as construction of the new Plaza Park.

As of June 1, restaurants will be allowed to open with outdoor seating. Please visit restaurant websites to determine their hours and service options. All businesses on Lake Street will continue to be accessible to pedestrians, and there is ample parking available on adjacent side streets and at the City's Mill Street parking ramp.

Stay safe

The Lake Street construction job site is fenced to ensure safety. The public is not permitted to enter the site. Use of the railroad corridor is prohibited, and is considered to be trespassing. Please follow the posted detour routes for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians, which are the safest routes around the construction zone.
