With the construction season fast approaching, improvement projects were a central topic at the recent Two Harbors City Council meeting. On Monday night, Council members approved resolutions to move forward with the next steps for both Sidewalk and Street Improvement work. Specifics include a feasibility study to be done related to sidewalk replacement on the 600 and 700 blocks of Eleventh Avenue and the 800 and 900 blocks of Tenth Avenue. A number of trees will have to be removed along that route because root systems are causing the current sidewalk to heave and crack. The Council also voted to approve specifications for advertising and ordering bids for the 2023 – 2024 Street Improvement Project.
Updates were provided to the Council on work that has been completed on the Wastewater Treatment Facility Improvement Project. A memorandum from Jennifer Selchow of Bolton & Menk listed aspects of the project that have been completed to date. Mechanical screen and grit systems have been installed to address water quality concerns, a new raw water pump and related piping are installed in the pretreatment building, and piping was installed in the bio-solids storage tank. Interested residents can see additional details from this report on the City’s website under Meeting Minutes, March 13, 2023.
The next City Council meeting is scheduled for Monday March 27th at 6:00 PM.
