Public Notice City Offices Closed to Public
The City Council of Lakeland has ordered that all city
facilities are closed to the public until further notice under
Governor Tim Walz’s executive order to stay at home.
You are encouraged to connect with city staff through the
city website, by phone and by mail. If you have business
that is time-sensitive and must be conducted in person, call
651-436-4430 to make an appointment. City staff will do
their best to accommodate your request.
The City of Lakeland has been working with local, county
and state partners to help protect the health and wellness of
both the community and employees during the rapidly
changing coronavirus outbreak. As transmission has
changed in Minnesota from travel-related to community
spread, the city is making these changes while ensuring it
can provide essential services to residents. Visit
www.cityoflakeland.us and https://mn.gov/covid19/ for
related information and updates.
City representatives including members of the council, city
staff and city consultants will all be involved in meetings
using telecommunication methods. Each meeting will have
a unique access number used when calling in. The meeting
notices and instructions on how to call in to access them
will be posted on the official posting boards at Lakeland City
Hall, Lakeland Plaza, and will also be available on our
website at www.ci.lakeland.mn.us

2020 Streets Project Information
The 2020 Streets Project will be providing much needed reconstruction and updates to the road along Quality Ave N.
Visit cityoflakeland.us/2020streets to see the newest information as it becomes available. Including the schedule for traffic.
The project will continue throughout the summer months. Details of the project include: pulverization of the existing street pavement, installation of storm sewer, grading in Humphires Park, driveway and culvert replacement/additions, new pavements, and ditch cleaning and turf establishment.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the 2020 Streets Project you may reach out to Simon Wirth at [email protected] or (218) 491-3575.
MnDOT is improving safety features during the Hwy 95 Improvement Project which began in May 2020.
The concerns being addressed include, raised center medians, a protected pedestrian crossing with rapid flashing beacon near Anderson Elementary, a reduction of drive lane width, and striped on-street parking. Other safety enhancements include expanded sidewalk widths with ADA pedestrian ramps for better accessibility, and upgraded street lights with LED fixtures to increase visibility.
Over the next few months the City of Bayport and MnDOT will evaluate other safety enhancement features and a potential traffic signal at 5th Ave. N. due to a recent pedestrian fatality in that area. Specific information and updates can be found at the City of Bayport's website www.ci.bayport.mn.us or contacting Bayport City Hall at 651-275-4404 or by email [email protected]
