City Takes Next Step in Road Improvement Plan
Hermantown, Minn. – Hermantown’s City Council took the next step forward in a comprehensive plan to improve roads over the next several years this past Monday at its first meeting of 2020.
By a unanimous vote, the City Council approved final plans and specifications for the initial phase of the multi-year road plan and ordered the advertisement for bids. The 2020 phase of construction covers Johnson Road, Portland Road, Carlson Road, and Alexander Road in southeast Hermantown. It also covers a stretch of Hermantown Road between Okerstrom Road and Stebner Road.
The City of Hermantown hired TKDA as the project engineer and held a trio of well-attended public information meetings to provide resident input on these roads. TKDA has completed the plans and specifications and are now ready to advertise bids for the project.
“We have had great input from the residents on this project and feel they have a strong understanding of what can be accomplished in improving these roads,” said John Mulder, Hermantown City Administrator. “As we continue moving forward with this phase of the project, we will stay in contact with residents in these neighborhoods, as well as including those impacted by the additional upcoming phases.”
