Lake Harriet Parkway ADA pedestrian ramp upgrades and resurfacing
The City will upgrade pedestrian ramps to ADA standards in 2026. The City will replace the pavement surface in 2026 and 2027.
Program overview
This project is part of the ongoing street maintenance program.
ADA pedestrian ramp upgrades
City staff will upgrade pedestrian ramps to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards in 2026.
Surmountable curbs for wildlife
Traditional curbs may trap wildlife in the road and sewer. Surmountable curbs are easier for wildlife to cross. City staff will construct four surmountable curbs. These curbs will help wildlife cross between Roberts Bird Sanctuary and north Lake Harriet wetlands.
Standardized Full Depth Reclamation (SFDR)
Standardized Full Depth Reclamation (SFDR) is a process used to repair distressed roadways. The existing pavement and base materials are recycled into a new, stronger base layer. Doing this costs less than other methods. It is also easier on the environment.
