CITY PROJECTS <br />Page 5The Source | Summer 2025Lakeelmo.gov <br />Project Updates <br />Reid Park Parking Lot <br />The Reid Park parking lot is currently under construction. The project, which started on <br />August 18, will extend the existing sidewalk from the park to 30th Street, add a new trail, lay <br />down a new asphalt surface, add additional parking stalls, and install concrete curbs to <br />manage stormwater. Access to the park will be limited to foot traffic starting the week of <br />August 25, and the project is expected to be finished by the end of September. <br />I-94 Lift Station Forcemain <br />Replacement Project <br />The Project includes replacement of <br />approximately 3,000 feet of existing <br />forcemain from the I-94 Lift Station on <br />Hudson Boulevard. The replacement is <br />necessary to address ultimate capacity at <br />build-out, MCES connection location <br />changes, and fatigued pipe issues. The <br />work includes the Hudson Boulevard <br />Culvert repair project, consisting of <br />replacement of the existing 90-inch CMP <br />with a 72-inch RCP. Plans and <br />specifications were approved at the June <br />17 council meeting. <br />This project will require a full closure of <br />Hudson Boulevard east of Eagle Point <br />Blvd and will be completed this fall.
