The City of Inver Grove Heights is beginning the planning process for the Bryant Lane  Area Improvements project scheduled for the summer of 2021.  

Majestic Woodlands Island Review

A virtual meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 4th at 6pm. Please contact Steve Doge sdodge@ighmn.gov to receive an invite to this virtual meeting.  This meeting will be held virtually on Microsoft Teams.

Feasibility Report

A feasibility report was prepared and investigated possible street improvements, underground utility improvements, and storm water facility improvements.  Based on feedback from residents, we have removed the Blackberry Trail costs from the assessments, which has lowered the proposed assessment for the project. See those details below.

Project Background

This project will provide residential street and drainage improvements in the Bryant Lane neighborhood. The proposed reconstruction project will include improvements to the streets, storm sewer, and overall stormwater management in the project areas. The streets included in this report are:

• Blackberry Trail E from Upper 55th St E to Bryant Lane
• Bryant Lane from Blackberry Trail E to Brent Avenue
• Burke Trail from Bradburry Court to Brent Avenue
• Bradbury Court from cul-de-sac to Burke Trail
• Brent Avenue from Bryant Lane to 110’ south

Project Cost

The City intends to fund the proposed improvements through various methods including the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) Fund, special assessments and the City Utility funds. Street and storm sewer costs will be funded by special assessments and the PMP Fund.

Based on feedback from residents, we have removed the Blackberry Trail costs from the assessments, which has lowered the proposed assessment from $12,146 (presented at the virtual open house in January 2021) down to $9,491 per single family parcel.
