High Street - 7th Ave N to 10th Ave N
American Asphalt finished paving this project last Saturday. The Street was re-opened Tuesday and this portion of High Street is complete.
 
Wastewater force main river crossing
The surface layer of asphalt remains on Blue Heron Lane and at the intersection of Pepper Ave and Ridgewood Trail. Final restoration remains in the park and a small piece of trail needs to be paved near 2nd Ave. American Asphalt is expected to complete the remaining paving next week.
 
West Side Lift Station
Miron Construction continues work for new pumps and electrical components within the new sump well.
 
Wisconsin River Green Space and Recreation Project
This week Janke Construction finished all sidewalk trails throughout the project. They also completed grading and topsoil installation all the way through the entire project. Revi Designs planted trees along Mead Street and 2nd Street. They also began installing landscape edging and plantings in the East Riverbank Conservancy. Current Technologies installed the light pole in Demitz Park and performed miscellaneous electrical work in the East Riverbank Conservancy. Next week Revi Designs will continue landscaping in the East Riverbank Conservancy. Janke will be offsite next week and will return later to finish installation of handrails under the Riverview Expressway Bridge, by the fishing pier, along 2nd Street and along the stairs in the East Riverbank Conservancy.
 
High Street - 12th Ave N to 17th Ave N
Pember completed all but the last two blocks of sidewalk for this project. Sidewalk preparation was completed with road base for these last two blocks. Topsoil restoration is complete from 14th Ave N to 17th Ave N with seeding to take place in the spring. The street was final graded and American Asphalt paved the binder layer for the entire street. American is expected back next week to pave the final surface layer. The street remains closed for through traffic.
 
Van Buren Street – 8th Ave N to 10th Ave N
American Asphalt paved the entire street late this week and the street should re-open soon.
