    Downtown Streetscape Project

Lake View's Main Street is Under Construction

Beginning the 3rd week of March, we will be putting a new face on our downtown and completing a much need infrastructure project.  We will be installing new water main, storm sewers, streets, sidewalks, streetlights and native stone pillars.  We plan on a September 30th completion date, with a Phase 1 completion date before Memorial day.  The contractors will be working Monday - Saturday from 6:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m..  Below is a project timeline.

The first phase of the project has been completed.  The center two lanes of Main Street have been paved and the contractors are working on trimming the parking areas to get them ready for concrete.  Beginning the week of July 6th, the parking area, curb and gutter and the intersection of 4th Street and Main Street will be paved.  Check back often for updates. 

Our Downtown Businesses are open!!  There will be front door access via a 4' sidewalk and most businesses have access through a rear entrance.  Patrons and employees are asked to park on 3rd, 4th & 5th streets or on Vine and High Street.
