construction. Ellis explained there are two Prairie Center projects. Staff chose to close
the road completely for the larger project because of the size of the
equipment required. They need to provide a safe environment for workers, drivers, and pedestrians. They also completed a traffic analysis for the various options, and traffic was more efficient with the implemented road closure. Finally, the project will be done more quickly. He provided
details on the construction efforts.
Ellis noted the second Prairie Center Drive near Flying Cloud Drive will be completed in early October. He provided details on the construction efforts.
Ellis stated Homer Hills Road had a recent sewer line replacement, and it will be repaved and reopened next week. At the Golden Triangle Station, the third phase will be completed in October. Technology Drive and other major roads have been repaved.
Ellis added fiber installation is occurring throughout Eden Prairie. It is a private effort that is permitted by the City. There is a second fiber company that is seeking a permit for installation in the southeast area of Eden Prairie. The City cannot dictate where fiber is installed as long as
the application is in line with City Code.
Getschow noted other cities have up to four fiber options. Consumers are interested in multiple options.
Narayanan asked if the fiber installation requires a right-of-way permit.
Ellis confirmed that is correct. Second or third fiber installers may lay on top of one another, but they may leapfrog one another in an attempt to be the first provider in a neighborhood.
Case asked if any cities have installed a larger pipe that fiber providers
could place their materials inside of. Ellis explained there are similar efforts in larger cities where there is less room for utilities and more paved areas.
Nelson asked if the ground is restored after fiber installation. Ellis stated
the installers have done a great job restoring the ground. F. REPORT OF POLICE CHIEF
