An upcoming road project on the boundary between Oakdale and Lake Elmo aims to improve pavement conditions while addressing safety issues for all users.
The Ideal Avenue Improvement Project covers a section of Ideal Avenue, also known as Washington County Road 13, between Stillwater Boulevard and 34th Street North. Expected elements of the project include widening shoulders and adding turn lanes at intersections, improving pedestrian and bike accommodations, improving drainage and planning for future growth and development, according to a Washington County project announcement.
An open house to inform people about the project is scheduled for 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 19, at the Oakdale Discovery Center, 4444 Hadley Ave. N.
The goal of the open house is to present several proposed design concepts and gather feedback from community members, said Tina Elam, a Washington County communications manager. People can review project alternatives and share comments on the proposed designs.
People also can provide feedback Nov. 19 to Dec. 10 at washingtoncountymn.gov/IdealAve.
The estimated cost of the project is $7.8 million and is expected to start in spring 2029, Elam said. Funding for this project will come from Washington County’s transportation sales tax, the Minnesota Transportation Advancement Account and the cities of Lake Elmo and Oakdale.
