Rochester 5th Ward Information

In an attempt to close the gap between city government and its citizens, especially those I represent in Rochester's Fifth Ward, I will try to provide timely updates on issues and concerns that are under consideration for council action as well as any specific concerns you bring to my attention.

Street Repairs Coming to an End

You read about the Roc 52 project finally coming to an end after 3 years and no doubt have come across Hwy 63 South renovation.

Well, the Fifth Ward hasn't been left out of this summer's street tear up and repair and they're getting closer to getting wrapped up. Thanks for your patience!

The Silver Lake sewer project is continuing to move along closer to its completion. Hitting a larger rock formation than was shown in geologic findings and a slight delay in the special 60 inch sewer pipe put a bit of a crimp in our plans but all is well and we're moving along.

North Broadway has been torn up for a couple of weeks and should be back in full swing very shortly.

The steam pipe from the Silver Lake power plant to Mayo is moving along well too.

With so much being torn up and all, the projected rebuild of 7th Street NW has been rescheduled to next year -- budget permitting. I think there are some mixed emotions on this one. Would have been nice to get it done and over with now but ... that's city hall for you!

Northern Hills Drive has been milled for a couple of days now with my neighbors and I dodging those big orange markers and tubs expecting the asphalt to be layed any hour now. In checking with Joe Fitzpatrick today, I learned that the street will be paved either next Monday or Tuesday (October 17 or 18). For those of you who thought I'd get special treatment .... HA!

Keep in touch and don't forget to visit me at Grandma's Kitchen each Friday from 7 to 8:30 that I'm in town. I buy the coffee you bring the problems!
