Updates for the 2024 Neighborhood Street Project will be available on this page. Please check back periodically.

Each year, the City performs maintenance on various segments of its road system to maximize the useful life of the pavement. The 2024 Neighborhood Street Improvement Project will include a full-depth mill and overlay affecting approximately 2.11 miles of roadway, including:

  • Glenhurst Ave.
  • Joppa Ave.
  • Joppa Circle
  • Joppa Court
  • Kipling Ave.
  • Kipling Court
  • River Bend Place
  • 144th St.
  • 145th St.

The proposed improvement is a full-depth mill and overlay in which the bituminous pavement is either removed or reclaimed and mixed with the aggregate base. Cracked or damaged curbs will be replaced where needed. Spot repairs to the water system, sanitary system, and storm system will also be performed.

Additional traffic calming improvements are proposed for Joppa Ave. in the area of River Bend Park as part of the recommendations from the River Bend Park Engagement Plan. The improvements include:

  • Adding sidewalks and revising trail connections
  • Narrowing the street from River Bend Place to the parking lot entrance
  • Adding a bump out for on-street parking
  • Replacing the existing trail within River Bend Park
  • Resurfacing the parking lot
  • Installing lighting in the parking lot
  • Installing pedestrian crossings at intersections
  • Removing and revising street stripping to convey a more residential street feel.

Construction is anticipated to begin in May 2024 and be completed by September 2024.
