Please be advised Carlton residents-

The contractor working on the Subdivision on Grant Street is completing the Wennerberg Park access detour road. This detour will have park users accessing Wennerberg Park via Washington street from an extension of Cunningham Street. Grant Street will be closed for infrastructure upgrades. This detour is expected to last about 6 months. The detour is expected to open March 10th. Barricades and signage will be in place at the location as well notifying Park users. Please see the Detour map below for details. We appreciate your cooperation using the detour route to keep everyone safe during construction.

FAQ's

Why have I not heard anything about construction or work down in the area of Wennerberg Park?  

These lots were created back in 1905, but they were never built on. New streets and utilities will be constructed for future homes. Because the lots were created and recorded in 1905, it was already a subdivision. That is why the building of the subdivision now did not need public notice or any land use approval through the Planning Commission. The lots were created over a hundred years ago and have been approved to build upon this whole time. 

Will I still be able to visit Wennerberg Park during construction?  

While Grant Street will be temporarily closed during construction, there’s no need to worry. Detours will be in place prior to the closure via soon-to-be South Cunningham Street and West Washington Streets allowing both vehicles and pedestrians access to the park. Barricades and signage will be posted alerting the public.

Will sidewalks be added to Grant Street with this project?  

In addition to new streets, West Grant Street and South River Street will be widened and sidewalks will be provided, thanks to a collaboration between the City of Carlton and the developer. This creates safer pedestrian access to and from the park.
