Project Update: August 13

Recent work on 15th St. included installing pipe in a section of the irrigation ditch, adding new railroad crossing material, detectable warning strips, paved sidewalks, and grading.

At CR 17, crews replaced railroad tracks, installed new crossing material, rebuilt roadway approaches with full-depth asphalt, and completed signage and striping. Gates and flashers are set for installation starting Wednesday, Aug. 20.

Sidewalk construction is progressing on 1st St. (Main St. to the railroad tracks) and CO 257 ( Lakeview Cemetery to Chestnut St.), both expected to wrap up in early fall.

On Main St., the railroad crossing will be entirely replaced in October for safety improvements, with sidewalk work to follow. Coordination with Xcel Energy to relocate light poles is required before the sidewalk can be constructed along the south side of Main Street from the railroad tracks to 1st St.
