Construction continues on this year’s street improvement project. The Contractor has split the project into smaller areas for coordination and scheduling:
- Area 1: Glenbrook Area (9th Street N, Gershwin Avenue, Glenbrook Avenue) – Project Area 1 Map
- Area 2: Hydram Area (Cardinal Meadows Neighborhood) – Project Area 2 Map
- Area 3: Helmo Avenue Area (Helmo Avenue Bay N and Upper 26th Street N) – Project Area 3 Map

The improvements in the Glenbrook area include miscellaneous storm sewer and sanitary sewer repairs, full replacement of the water main, curb and gutter, and asphalt pavement. The improvements in all other areas include miscellaneous storm sewer, sanitary sewer, water main repairs, replacement of isolated sections of structurally damaged curb and gutter, replacement of the asphalt pavement section, installation of some new street lighting, bike trail replacement on 36th Street N, and new sidewalk on the west side of High Point Drive.

Also, please do not park vehicles on the street from 7 AM to 7 PM within the project area unless instructed to by the Contractor to accommodate driveway work.
