Gatewav Boulevard Started in 1997 this project consisted of sewer, water, storm sewer and streets.

Round Lake Road The City received a request by the Contractor for Payment #8 amounting to $24,000. The Public Works Director was uncomfortable with this amount as it brought the retainer on this project down to 2%, which may not cover the punch list items. Therefore, the payment #8 request was not submitted to the City Council. The punch list items have not been corrected to date. . IngersonlHamline Proiect The Ingerson Review Group has met twice monthly since March to review necessity and design issues. The main focus thus far has been rain gardens, sediment ponds, street widths, concrete curb and gutter and the assessment policy. People involved are anxious to complete the review and get a recommendation to the City Council. . 2000 Seal Coating Council authorized Public Works to use a Dresser (Wisconsin) chip seal this year. The Dresser aggregate is more expensive but neighboring communities have had good success with it as it seems to wear better, provides better traction and has a more aesthetically pleasing look. The apparent low bidder on the 2000 Seal Coat Project was Allied Blacktop Co. with a bid of$40,562.50. The engineers estimate for the project was $57,000.00.
