There has been a lot of construction activity along University Avenue. This activity includes plans to relocate three houses in the 2900 block of University Avenue, between 29th Street and Walgreens, to the Sherman Hill neighborhood. The houses are scheduled to move starting around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 25 (weather dependent). The houses will travel east on University Avenue, then south on 26th Street, and finally east on Cottage Grove toward the Sherman Hill neighborhood. Drake has worked closely with Habitat for Humanity to facilitate the reclamation of items from within these homes. Steps have also been taken to abate any environmental conditions in the homes.
Additional work is underway on plans for this area going forward. We look forward to sharing more on plans for the future in the coming weeks.
