At their January 26, 2026 work session, the City Council directed staff to move ahead with a full depth reclamation pavement rehabilitation scope (Option #2) in lieu of a full reconstruction scope (Option #1). The project will include spot sanitary sewer and watermain repairs, strategic stormwater management improvements, speed mitigation strategies, and improvements to sightlines and lighting. Preliminary design will now commence, heading toward construction in the summer of 2027. Click to see a copy of the staff presentation to the City Council.

Staff will be presenting some updated project information to the City Council at their work session on Monday, January 26. The information will be a summary of the recently completed survey results and two options for overall project scope. This discussion will be used to gauge the Council's thoughts, and set a direction for the next stage of design. Please find below a summary of the survey results, and the two options for consideration. The work session is not a formal venue for public participation, but is open to the public for attendance. If you have specific questions, please use the submit a comment button on the left side of this page.

A reminder that there is a survey that can be found on the left-hand side of this page. The survey will close at 4:30 PM on Friday, November 21, 2025. The next steps for the project is to review the comments received and the survey responses, and then to develop some more defined options for the planned improvements. Stay tuned for future Project Updates for more information

The city has hired Kimley Horn and Associates for planning and conceptual design work. A kick-off meeting was held with them on May 28, 2025. Some of the initial steps include data collection and existing conditions investigation, including field survey work. Underground utility marking flags and paint throughout the corridor will begin showing up starting the first week of June. This does not mean construction is beginning, it's just a way for the project team to document existing utilities. The survey will also include identifying property corners, trees, wetlands, and other items that may have additional markings placed in the field.
Once the survey is completed, concepts will be developed, followed by multiple meetings with the public and the City Council to develop the plan for what the ultimate improvement project will consist of. This planning and concept design process will take approximately seven months to complete. The primary goals are to rehabilitate the city's public infrastructure and to make the corridor safer for all modes of transportation.

The city has begun working on planning the project scope to improve Pleasant View Road, with a goal for implementation within the next few years. We are aware that the corridor is long overdue for maintenance attention. Pleasant View Road is classified as a Minor Collector and is an established Municipal State Aid (MSA) route, meaning it is eligible for funding from MnDOT to help pay for the maintenance and/or construction needs.
We recently did some preparation work for a grant application which resulted in some eye-opening costs based on a design meeting current city and MSA standards. The scope became financially unrealistic, and therefore the next step is to use what has been learned about the project and its constraints (ROW, trees, topography, drainage, safety, private property impacts, etc.) to scope a more realistic project that is cost effective while also achieving the goal of making the corridor “safer”.
Public engagement is an important step for the scope development, and we plan on beginning community outreach this summer after we’ve contracted with an engineering/planning consultant.
