The City Council discussed and continued to move forward with the Downstream Capacity Project (Stormwater), this project is also known as the Northeast Storm Sewer Improvements project.
November 2, 2020
Phase 1 of the Northeast Storm Water project has been discussed since 2018. The City Council approved the project parameters at the November 2nd meeting. The project includes the installation of a 48-inch stormwater pipe through Arbor Ridge, connecting to Mud Creek and connecting to the detention pond at Pleasant Grove.

The work is contracted to e completed, including surface restoration, no later than September 30, 2021.
The timing of this project enabled the City to finish three other, related stormwater improvements prior to beginning this project. Those projects include the removal of the 15th Street bridge; the channel straightening at the abandoned sewer lagoons; and the addition of the relief box culvert under 2nd Street NW at Eagle Park.
The project also includes tree replacement/planting, removal of volunteer trees, and other, property-specific improvements as negotiated in the easements previously approved by the City Council.

This project held a pre-construction meeting with the contractor and some of the franchise utility providers in the area. Many topics were covered with the schedule being one of the topics with some variability due to weather. As of today, they are expecting to get started sometime in mid-January and would start on the west end of the project. City engineers are getting a letter together to send out to all the residents adjacent to the project with this information. Since the weather will be a huge factor for the first several months, it is impossible to say when phase 1 will be completed. There will be progress meetings during construction with updates being made available on the City’s website.
January 12, 2021
January 13 thru 15 the contractor will start construction by staking and tree clearing on the west end of the project. This activity will continue easterly as pipe laying progresses. Traffic will be made aware of the construction on Deer Ridge Dr NW and possibly Sycamore Dr NW. More information will follow as it becomes available.

The project has experienced about a week delay due to a utility conflict and weather.
March 17, 2021
Early next week the contractor will be placing gravel on Deer Ridge to reopen traffic temporarily. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining the rock until it is paved. Shortly after this, Sycamore will be closed to through traffic and used as the contractors access in and out of the construction zone. Pipe laying will continue west towards Grant Street. Construction across Grant Street will not occur until after the school year ends in late May. Both Deer Ridge and Sycamore will be paved prior to Grant Street being shut down to traffic.
March 24, 2021
Starting Thursday, March 25th, 2021, a portion of Sycamore Dr. NW between 6th St. NW and Walnut Dr. NW will be closed to traffic so contractors can continue work on the Storm Sewer Project. On Wednesday, March 24th, 2021, the portion of Deer Ridge Dr. NW that was closed to traffic will be opened back to traffic temporarily. Please use caution in this area as the road surface is only temporary gravel until conditions allow the street to be replaced. The sidewalks in this project area will remain closed throughout the project.
Please reference the map for the specific location of the road closure.
The City appreciates everyone’s patience and understanding while improvements to the city’s infrastructure are being made.
