City Of Superior Plans Reconstruction For East 5th Street + Wants Your Input
The City of Superior will be holding its first open house meeting on February 27 to discuss a reconstruction project in the East End neighborhood.
The city is planning to reconstruct E 5th Street between 24th Ave E and 31st Ave E in the summer of 2025. The section has degraded over the years because of its age and poor drainage.
The first public meeting will be at the Zion Lutheran Church at 2022 E 2nd Street on Tuesday, February 27 between 4:30-6:30 pm.
Residents are encouraged to stop by and learn more about potential improvements and to provide input.
Currently, the plans are to excavate and replace the roadway fully. The pedestrian facilities will be completely replaced. A new drainage system will be used to extend the life of the reconstructed roadway. Utility work will also be a part of the project.

The city stresses environmental stewardship, such as protecting trees and being sensitive to impervious surfaces. Funding for the project comes from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's local road improvement program.
A second public meeting will take place again in the summer of 2024. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2025.
The potential improvements could feature 6.5 ft wide parking lanes, with 13 feet of boulevard grass.
You can read more about the project on the City of Superior's project page. There also is an online survey in which you are encouraged to provide feedback. The city is specifically asking residents to let them know what is most important to them in a reconstructed E 5th Street.
