Maintaining local access and parking restrictions
During construction, we will maintain access for people who live along the project area, visit local businesses and destinations such as Webber Park, Webber Community Center, and use the Grand Rounds Trail. Expect short-term impacts when construction is needed in the immediate area.
You can expect temporary paths — paved or gravel — for people driving, biking, walking and rolling to access these destinations. We will have signs to guide people around.
There will be no parking on Webber Parkway where construction is happening. Parking at the Webber Community Center and near the Webber Park pool will remain open.
If you are traveling around the area, please remember to allow for extra time, check signs regarding parking and drive safely around crews.
Accessing Webber Park
The existing driveway off of Webber Parkway to access the Webber Park parking lot will remain open, but you can expect brief periods where we need to close access for crews to complete their necessary construction work. To access the driveway and parking lot at Webber Park to get to the community center and pool, please use Fremont Avenue and Webber Parkway.
Like last year, we will have a drop-off and pickup area along 45th Avenue, just west of the railroad crossing, at the community center's trail access entrance. Below is a map of showing the access route to the parking lot and the drop-off and pickup location.
Access impacts for Lyndale, Washington and 41st avenues
On August 10, we shifted southbound traffic onto the newly built southbound lanes to complete the median work. Northbound traffic will remain in place.
We will restrict left-turn movements connecting Lyndale and Washington avenues while crews are working on the median at the intersection. People driving will need to use Dowling Avenue as the alternate route. We will have signs on-site to guide people.
We will allow right-turn movements connecting Lyndale and Washington avenues.
Access to 41st Avenue will remain closed until the median work is complete.
Accessing local businesses on Lyndale Avenue
We will maintain sidewalk access for people to get to local businesses on Lyndale Avenue between 41st Avenue and Webber Parkway.
There will be openings to driveways or signed alternate routes using nearby streets to access these businesses for people driving.
