Big Sioux Drainage Structure Repair

There is a storm sewer pipe that starts at the intersection of W. Ponderosa Drive and S. Parkview Blvd. that extends to the Big Sioux River.  This pipe is approximately 540' long and is no longer working at it's full capacity as a video log shows the pipe has a maintenance structure near the Big Sioux River.  This maintenance structure has severe erosion around it and is currently cutting into the State's hiking trail.  Design is planned for 2021 with construction in 2022.

Engineer: IDG Engineering

Sewer Force Main to Sioux Falls Analysis

Preliminary Engineering: $18,776.00

Core Area Asphalt Overlay Project

Completed in 2022!

This overlay is a temporary fix, not a permanent fix. Please note that the existing asphalt will only be milled down near intersections. This means that asphalt will be overlayed on the exiting gutter line which will make the curb seem short.  Asphalt will also be tapered into driveway approaches which may cause a slight bump.

Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan

A request for proposals was advertised on January 4th, 2021.  This study reviewed our current sidewalks and shared use paths.  The study made recommendations on where these paths are needed and helped prioritize when these paths should be constructed.  MPO funds will pay for 80% of this study.

Engineer: Ulteig 

Study: $100,00.00 - MPO funds will pay 80%

Holly Boulevard & Aspen Boulevard Joint Repair

This project involves repairing concrete joints, replacing join sealant, and restriping Holly Blvd starting at Splitrock Blvd and extending to Sioux Blvd.  A small portion of E. Aspen Blvd will also be part of this project.

Estimated Cost: $350,000.00

Developer Fees

The City will be starting the process of reviewing and updating the current development fees.  Some of our existing fees include cost recovery fees, impact fees, and park fees.  These fees need to be updated on a regular basis.
