2023 Surface Water Maintenance Project
The City of Lino Lakes will be completing a surface water maintenance project this summer and fall. This project includes removing sediment from ponds (view project map below). The contractor will likely access the pond via the City’s drainage and utility easement on the property line, which is typically offset 5-feet from the property line in either direction.
The project team has visited the site with the Contractor to verify the best access route, and those residents adjacent to the access route have been requested to remove any items such as dog fences, irrigation systems, or landscaping from the drainage and utility easement. The substantial completion of the project, which includes restoration of any disturbed areas, is October 27th, 2023.
The City has met with the contractor and received a tentative schedule. A friendly reminder that the contractor’s schedule is weather dependent and subject to change. They are scheduled to begin construction on Monday (8/21). Their working hours are weekdays from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
Sites 1 - 6 are completed
Site 7 is tentatively scheduled for early October
Lake Drive (CSAH 23) Mill and Overlay
Lake Drive (CSAH 23) from Main Street (CSAH 14) to Potomac Street construction is scheduled to start June 19.
The Lake Drive and Main Street intersection resurfacing is expected to last one day, June 22. The intersection will be open traffic but due to the resurfacing there will delays.
Pheasant Run Project
***Please remember that all construction activities are weather dependent***
Residents are asked to please have your garbage pulled out in preparation for garbage day by 7 pm every Thursday for the project duration.
The contractor has completed:
- Installation of sanitary sewer and service connections
- Installation of water main and service connections
- Installation of storm sewer
- Removed old road material and hauled on new gravel for base under the blacktop
- Installed curb and gutter
Tentative upcoming schedule:
- Allow the concrete time to cure (harden), there will likely be minimal construction activities while the concrete cures
- Haul dirt on-site in preparation for restoring the yards with sod
- Begin grading the gravel in preparation for paving
Roadway and driveway access will be limited during construction. This means that Pheasant Run will be passable outside of the contractor’s working hours at the end of each day, and residents should have access to their driveways after 7:00 pm.
The City of Lino Lakes has specified the following work hours for the contractor:
• Monday – Friday 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
• Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. (upon written approval from the City)
No work is allowed on Sundays or Holidays.
The City of Lino Lakes uses door hangers as a means of communicating immediate construction activities, such as temporary water shut off notices. Door hangers are typically placed on the front door knobs.
Residents need to have any items such as landscaping, irrigation systems, or invisible dog fences within the right-of-way or near the curb line moved prior to construction. These items can be reinstalled once construction is completed. The right-of-way is approximately 15 feet behind the concrete curb.
Trail Reconstruction
The City of Lino Lakes had the trail from Langer Lane to Clearwater Creek Drive reconstructed, as well as the trail adjacent to Woodridge Lane as shown in the map linked below.
Most project tasks are compete, but the contract remains open since there may be miscellaneous restoration and cleanup tasks yet this year (2023).
The CSAH 14 (Main St/125th Ave) and County Road 53 (Sunset Ave) intersection
Anoka County is partnering with the cities of Blaine and Lino Lakes to reconstruct the CSAH 14 (Main St/125th Ave) and CR 53 (Sunset Ave) intersection. A roundabout will be installed to make the area safer and allow for more free-flowing traffic.
2022 Surface Water Maintenance Project
The 2022 Surface Water Maintenance Project includes removing sediment from ponds near Langer Lane & Clearwater Creek Drive, White Oak Road & Birch Street, and West Shadow Lake Drive & Fox Road (see map below).
Most project tasks are compete, but the contract remains open since there may be miscellaneous restoration and cleanup tasks yet this year (2023).

CRJ and Hodgson Road Improvement Project
The City is working with Anoka and Ramsey Counties, along with the City of Shoreview to design improvements for the reconstruction of County Road J and Hodgson Road intersection and approaches. The project is planned for construction in 2023.
CRJ and I-35E Interchange Improvement Project
The existing I-35E and County Road J interchange, and the surrounding area, have several safety, congestion, and access issues that impact motorists and all users of the corridor. Additional development is anticipated near the interchange and will increase traffic and public demands for pedestrian facilities; more emphasis will be needed to improve traffic safety. The project is planned for construction in 2024.
2024 / 2025 Street Project
The Lino Lakes City Council adopted a five-year Street Reconstruction Plan that includes Red Maple Lane and 62nd Street east of West Shadow Lake Drive in one area and Elbe Street, Danube Street, and 81st Street in another area. The street project would be funded through street reconstruction bonds. There are no assessments proposed for street reconstruction and associated stormwater management improvements. Construction is likely to occur in either 2024 or 2025.
As part of the street reconstruction project, the City will evaluate the extension of municipal water and sanitary sewer to the Colonial Woods neighborhood (Red Maple Lane) and the Pine Haven (Elbe, Danube, 81st) neighborhood to determine if the extension of utilities are feasible and necessary.
In the coming months, the engineers will be completing field work and residents may notice locate flags in their yards and survey crews throughout the neighborhood. The engineers need to get the topography of the neighborhood, inclusive of residents’ water wells and sanitary septic site information, which may be behind houses. Surveyors will collect the topography information in early October.
The City is hosting a neighborhood meeting at the Lino Lakes City Hall Council Chambers for the following areas on September 28, 2023. At the meeting, there will be a brief presentation where we will discuss the project scope, and then follow with public comment.
- Colonial Woods Neighborhood (Red Maple Lane) from 6:00pm to 7:00pm
- Pine Haven (Elbe, Danube, 81st) from 7:00pm to 8:00pm
Also in the City Council’s five-year plan is to perform street rehabilitation with a full depth reclamation (FDR) of Diane Street and Evergreen Trail. Reclaiming is a process where the blacktop is ground up in place and mixed with the gravel and then pavement is installed on top of the reclaim.
In the coming months, the engineers will be completing field work and residents on these streets may notice locate flags in their yard and survey crews throughout the neighborhood. The engineers need to get the topography of the neighborhood, inclusive of storm structures which may be located behind the house. Surveyors will likely collect the topography information in early October.
Lake Drive Trunk Watermain Project
The City will be installing a new trunk water line along the east side of Lake Drive between Park Ct and Forsham Lake Dr. Forsham Lake Dr is scheduled to be closed on Tuesday, October 3rd. Lake Drive will remain open, but access will not be permitted on Forsham Ave from Lake Drive. Access will be via Park Ct. Depending on the weather and how construction progresses, this date could change.
The contractor’s tentative schedule is as follows:
- Week of September 25th: Set up traffic control and begin removals
- Week of October 2nd: Fuse and drill (install) pipe
- Week of October 9th: Finish connecting the new pipe to the existing pipe
- Week of October 16th: Restore affected areas by seeding
The contractor will be installing the new watermain by directional drilling methods. To install this pipe, the intersection of Lake Drive and Forsham Lake Dr will need to be closed for one full day. Lake Drive will remain open, but access will not be permitted at Forsham; access to the neighborhood will be via Park Court. The contractor is planning the closure for October 10th. See closure map.
