Submit Keyholder Information and Request Vacation House Checks on New Secure Database

The Wayzata Police Department has acquired new software! Residents can now access a confidential database and enter both Residential and Business Keyholder information as well as request house checks. This tool will be most useful for those leaving for extended periods of vacation. Businesses and residents are also encouraged to submit key holder information. In case of emergency, this will help us gain access most efficiently.

Public Works Updates

Ferndale Road Sidewalk Improvements Scheduled for Sept. 11

The City has awarded a contract to New Look Contracting, Inc. for the construction of a concrete sidewalk on the east side of Ferndale Road, between Wayzata Boulevard and Lake Street. The project will include the addition of storm sewer and concrete curbs and mill and overlay of the bituminous pavement on Ferndale Road. 

New Look Contracting Inc. is scheduled to begin work on Monday, September 11, and is expected to be completed in October. During construction, Ferndale Road will be closed to through traffic but will remain accessible to residents.

2023 Pavement Rejuvenation is Complete

The City hired Corrective Asphalt Materials to perform a pavement surface rejuvenation project on Barry Avenue North, Barry Avenue South, and the access drive to the Lake & Barry parking lot (from Lake Street East). This project provided an alternative treatment method to Wayzata’s traditional seal-coating maintenance that should extend the life of the pavement. The rejuvenation work was completed on Wednesday, August 23.

Questions or concerns about these projects can be directed to Jen Schumann in the City’s Engineering Department at 952-404-5371 or jschumann@wayzata.org.
