As you’re reading this the reconstruction of Nicollet Avenue is moving right along.  It’s been a long summer, but even with the extra dose of heat this year’s construction is only a couple of weeks behind the original schedule.

The current plan for construction is that the second segment will be completed within the first two weeks of September.  As of Labor Day the construction team was still laying asphalt on the section between 32nd and 34th.

Places are important to Moussa Doualeh, owner of Goda Café. In the restaurant’s dining room a recent quiet evening, he reminisced about his father’s cooking in Somalia, the culinary destinations he visits with his son, his love for Minnesota and Goda’s Nicollet Avenue location.

Thomas and Sons is continuing work on Nicollet Avenue and forming and pouring sidewalks between 34th St and 35th St. The underground utility work is almost completed and the final grading can continue north. Paving north of 34th St could begin late next week.

Thomas and Sons will be paving between 35th to just north of Burger King tomorrow. They are continuing with subgrade correction and underground utility work north of 34th St, this work should be completed early next week. After the subgrade work is completed, they will begin with grading in the area north of 34th St.
