Utility Work

Utility relocations were slightly delayed in the fall with Alliant Energy starting pole installation in early December. The weather has had some impact on progress, however the utility work is approximately 50% complete.

• Alliant – New utility poles are set. New overhead electric lines are installed. Services have been reestablished.
• Mediacom – New overhead lines are installed. All services have been reestablished.
• ImOn – Currently installing overhead lines. This work will continue into the next week or two.
• Lumen – Will be the final utility to install new lines. Once started, the work will take approximately 2 weeks.

All four companies are coordinating with each other to install and test new lines, connect the new lines to your existing service, and remove the old lines.

Please note: if you experience short service disruptions or have any questions or concerns during this utility work, please contact the utility companies directly. Contact information can be found in the sidebar to the right of this message.

Tree Removals

Tree removals are underway along 35th Street NE. Boomerang Corp. is performing this work. Tree removals are in advance of improvements related to the roadway project. Tree removals previously occurred last fall in advance of the construction of the new utility poles. All stumps from both tree removal operations are occurring with the current operations.

Roadway Project

The roadway project bid on December 13, 2023. The project was awarded to Rathje Construction Co. In the coming weeks, a pre-construction meeting will be held. During the meeting, the Contractor will provide a start date and proposed overall schedule. Property owners will receive a door hanger with information about the construction schedule about two weeks before construction starts. The door hanger will include contact information for the Contractor and City staff. Weather permitting, we expect construction will begin in March.
