Dear Neighbor,
Residents have been asking for real improvements along 83rd Street since the late 2000's, and we have continued to push those concerns forward at every level.
We know the delays have been frustrating. A major reason for the slowdown has been required gas and water infrastructure work beneath the street, which must be completed before full resurfacing can safely move forward.
While this coordination has extended timelines, it is necessary to prevent repeated construction and ensure long-term durability.
We want to be clear: 83rd Street from State Street to Cottage Grove will be repaved, and we are actively working with all partners to move this project closer to full resurfacing.
Our office has been in consistent communication with the responsible agencies to accelerate remaining utility work and prepare the corridor for full street restoration.
83rd Street is a critical corridor for our community, and we are committed to seeing it restored properly—not patched, but fully resurfaced with safer, cleaner, and more reliable infrastructure.
We will continue to push, track progress closely, and keep residents informed as we move closer to completion.
