Peterson Road Street Improvements

Overview

Peterson Road is the last remaining Township maintained gravel road. Gravel road maintenance is different than pavement maintenance and requires special maintenance efforts. Erosion of the gravel surface occurs occasionally and must be reviewed after larger storms. Gravel is added to maintain a suitable driving surface.

Lot development of Three Oaks and the Mehegan Lane connection were built in 2018. Homes are currently being constructed within the Three Oaks development. As construction has been underway, the road connection has been closed. As the development project nears full buildout, the roadway will be opened and more traffic will use Peterson Road south of Mehegan Lane. Opening Mehegan lane to Peterson Road will be a change for the current residents who reside on Peterson Road as it will increase Peterson Road vehicle usage.

On December 12, 2019, the White Bear Township Town Board ordered the preparation of a feasibility report for Peterson Road street improvements.
