IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE: • Construction of a bituminous trail TIMELINE: July-November TRAFFIC IMPACT: Minimal impact; possible temporary lane closures on 12th Avenue COST: The estimated $1.12 million project will be funded from a variety of sources, including the Capital Improvement Fund, municipal state aid, Shakopee Public Utilities and a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources grant. 12th Avenue Trail

Road work season in full bloom Seeing orange? That's because road work is happening throughout the community. Reconstruction: Crews have begun reconstruction work on three city streets (Seventh Avenue, Scott Street and Minnesota Street cul-de-sac). They remain closed to through traffic for the duration of the project. Sealcoating: This messy operation is scheduled to start in mid-June on various streets throughout the city. Please obey no parking signs. Sealcoating does leave some small rock behind. Pavement Rehabilitation: The neighborhoods along Southbridge Parkway will receive crack and patch repairs and a mill and overlay beginning in June. Fairhaven Drive, Abbey Point, Cambridge Way and Langston Court will have crack, patch and full-depth reclamation repairs, followed by a chip sealcoat. 12th Avenue Reconstruction: Work is slated to start in June on 12th Avenue between Vierling Drive and Canterbury Road. The Vierling Drive-12th Avenue intersection will be closed. 17th Avenue/County Highway 16 Overlay: Scott County is laying new bituminous pavement on 17th Avenue between Sarazin Street and County Highway 83. Work is scheduled for July. Learn more about the city's road projects at www.ShakopeeMN.gov/roadprojects.

New Shenandoah Drive to open in second half of 2019 A new public street near Canterbury Park is set to open later this year. Shenandoah Drive follows the west perimeter of Canterbury Park from the intersection of Eastway Avenue and Barenscheer Boulevard to the intersection of 12th Avenue and Vierling Drive.

The road will be a two-lane street divided from Eastway to Vierling Drive. Two roundabouts will be added giving access to the parking lot at Canterbury Park and planned future developments at Canterbury Commons. Plans for the development include an apartment complex currently under construction. A third roundabout will also be constructed at the 12th Avenue and Vierling Drive intersection as part of the 12th Avenue Reconstruction project. For updates on Shenandoah Drive, as well as additional Canterbury Commons infrastructure, visit www.ShakopeeMN.gov/roadprojects.

Shenandoah Drive is being constructed as part of the Canterbury Commons development. The two-lane street is slated to open later this year.
