Join Dzantik’i Heeni playground community meeting on November 13

Get a first look at designs for a new Lemon Creek playground! Join CBJ, JSD, and Corvus Design for a community meeting on Wednesday, November 13 at 7 p.m. in person at the Dzantik’i Heeni Schools Commons.

Following the community kick-off in October, the proposed Dzantik’i Heeni playground project is moving forward. Input gathered at the meeting has been taken into account while creating a design for the playground, which is now ready to share.

The new playground will serve both Dzantik’i Heeni families and the greater Lemon Creek community—so whether you’re a student, parent, teacher, or Lemon Creek neighbor, you’re invited to come check out the design and learn more about the project process.

Repair work on View Drive September 19-21

CBJ and SECON, will be performing emergency road work to repair flood damage on View Drive from Thursday, September 19 through Saturday, September 21. (See the project map for the approximate work area.) Work will include grinding the existing asphalt/chip seal, regrading, and new asphalt pavement.

During pavement removal and grading operations, local traffic will have access to the area. On the day of paving (Friday or Saturday), the area will be completely closed to traffic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you live within the boundaries of the work area, you may park your vehicle on the Mendenhall Loop Road side and walk to/from your residence during this time.

Please be aware that paving work is weather dependent and subject to schedule changes.  Residents will be individually notified at least 24 hours in advance of the day and hours of the road closure.

Please pay attention to all traffic signs and safety devices. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to minimize inconvenience and perform these important repairs.

Work includes storm drain improvements and is part of a larger improvement project in the 10th Street area.

During construction, vehicle access across 10th Street will be maintained via F Street. (See project map for details.) Please be aware that this temporary access route will be briefly closed while 10th Street undergoes scheduled asphalt paving. Detour signs will be posted prior to the closure.

UPDATED: 10th Street (Egan to Glacier) closed for construction starting June 4

10th Street will be closed between Egan Drive and Glacier Avenue for major improvements beginning Tuesday, June 4 until project work is complete. Construction is anticipated to last through the summer.

Improvements will include resurfacing the roadway after replacing sidewalks, streetlights, the main water line, and the sewer and storm systems.  There will also be minor storm drain improvements at the intersection of West 8th & Glacier Avenue.

Construction on 8th & Glacier will occur late in the project window and closure of the intersection will be staggered to ensure that it does not overlap with the closure of 10th Street. Vehicle access to neighborhood business and residences will be maintained via at least one drive lane for the duration of the project.

Please refer to the attached project map for more information.

During construction, all vehicle through traffic and pedestrian walkways will be detoured around the project area. We kindly ask that you follow marked detours around the project for your safety and for the safety of those working in the area. We understand that this can be an inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience while we work to improve this important roadway.

Paving work on Montana Creek Road scheduled for May

Pavement repair work on Montana Creek Road between Back Loop Road and Arctic Circle is scheduled to take place before June 1. Work will include removal of pavement and placement of new asphalt pavement.

Because this work requires dry weather, it will be scheduled as weather allows and additional notice will be provided before work begins. Work will take place at night between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. and is anticipated to take two nights.

Through traffic will be maintained during all work operations; however, please allow for traffic flaggers, pilot cars, and minor delays. Please stay alert to crews and equipment, follow all signs and guidance, and drive slowly and safety in the project area.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation and will make every effort to minimize inconvenience while this work is underway.
