205th Street Rehabilitation Project and Ipava Avenue Intersection Improvements at Antlers Park

The City of Lakeville is proposing to rehabilitate asphalt pavement on approximately 1.68 miles of 205th Street West in 2023 from Kenrick Avenue to Ipava Avenue along with the addition of a single lane roundabout at the relocated main park access to Antlers Park. This project includes various methods of pavement rehabilitation, partial curb replacement, trail extensions along 205th Street, roundabout construction, storm sewer repairs, as well as watermain replacement and upgrades at various fire hydrants and street valves.

  • On Wednesday, October 11, 2023 from 4-7 p.m., Ipava Avenue will be closed from south of 201st Street to north of 202nd Street. This will be a short-term closure to allow for pavement striping on this segment. Please follow posted detours as signed during this time period.

Mail Delivery and Trash Removal

Residents will receive mail at their current mailbox location without a need for any temporary mailboxes. Trash removal will follow all normal routes for residents. Put out your trash and recycling bins based on your scheduled pickup dates.

Trail Extension

As part of the 205th Street Improvement Project, an asphalt trail will be extended along the north side of 205th Street from Jupiter Way (western segment of the loop) through the Juno Trailway Trailhead to 204th Street (western segment of the loop). The extension of the trail through this gap will provide more direct access from the north side of 205th Street to the Juno Trail network around west Lake Marion and better access to an existing pedestrian crosswalk at the Juno Trailway Trailhead, allowing for safer north-south pedestrian crossings on 205th Street.

Roundabout Improvements

The Antlers Park Master Plan includes relocation of the main park access to Ipava Avenue between 201st Street and 202nd Street. To provide a safe, efficient and multi-modal accessible access, intersection improvements are required along Ipava Avenue. The proposed improvements include construction of a single lane roundabout. The roundabout will be constructed along with the 205th Street improvements, and will be completed prior to the completion of the Antlers Park improvements in 2023.
