The 2nd Avenue and Lewis Street Parking Lot Improvement project consists of three projects included in the adopted 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The draft 2024-2028 CIP programs to combine the following three separate projects to create project delivery efficiencies:

• NW Shakopee Storm Water BMP Retrofit project (Storm-24-001)
• Annual Parking Lot Rehabilitation project (PA-24-03)
• 2nd Avenue (downtown) Retaining Wall and Landscaping project (PA-24-05).

The proposed improvements include reconstructing the City-owned parking lot and retaining wall, landscaping improvements and construction of regional stormwater treatment for untreated stormwater runoff that is routed directly to the Minnesota River.

The project is planned for construction in 2024.
