Map: Mendota Heights Area 2012 Construction

Between city, county and state road construction projects that are or will be underway this summer, Mendota Heights area residents can expect to see a lot of orange cones this summer.

“Ten projects. One summer. A lot of new pavement when we’re done," commented City Engineer John Mazzitello at Tuesday night's city council meeting. 

To help with event planning and the everyday grind of getting to-and-fro,  developed a color-coded map with proposed timelines as a reference. (See attached PDF)
