Paving Of Wayzata’s Lake Street Begins

Construction crews began paving the 600 block of Wayzata’s Lake Street Monday.

Crews have been busy recently pouring concrete sidewalks and curbs in that area.

According to the city and Stahl Construction, the following are some of the construction highlights for this week (June 15 – June 19):

Pave Lake Street from Broadway to Walker
Open one-way westbound traffic from Broadway to Walker
Begin installing the planting beds and top soils between Barry and Ferndale.
Install lighting and bases at Broadway and at the Cov plaza.
Pave the plaza at Cov.
Install sidewalks and planting curbs at the plaza.

The construction is a part of the Panoway on Wayzata Bay (Lake Effect) Project Phase 1.

A Plaza Park will replace a surface parking lot at Lake Street and Broadway Avenue.

The city allocated roughly $9 million toward the first phase of the project.

It recently used $25,000 of a contingency fund to speed up the project and pay overtime for construction workers.

Panoway on Wayzata Bay (Lake Effect) Background

In February of 2011, the city council appointed a Lakefront Task Force to research and provide a recommendation for the future of the City’s lakefront.

The city council adopted the Report of the Wayzata Lakefront Taskforce in January of 2012.

In March of 2014, the city council adopted the Wayzata Lakefront Final Framework Report.

Wayzata selected Civitas as the design team for the Lake Effect Signature Park schematic design in September of 2015.

On December 15, 2016, the city council approved an agreement with the Lake Effect Conservancy as a part of Resolution 29-2016 which defined the scope of the Lake Effect Project and its next steps.

That agreement states that the Conservancy will actively raise Private and Philanthropic Funding.
