The Oakdale City Council is actively advancing several significant projects aimed at enhancing the city’s infrastructure and community amenities.
Street Reconstruction Initiative
In January 2026, the Council approved a comprehensive street reconstruction project with an estimated budget of $6.6 million. This initiative focuses on replacing aging infrastructure and improving safety for both pedestrians and motorists. The decision followed public hearings and discussions about project financing and assessments for affected property owners.
Police Department Expansion and City Hall Renovation
To address the needs of the growing community, the Council has initiated the expansion of the Police Department and the renovation of City Hall. Construction is set to begin in June 2026, with completion anticipated by January 2028. During this period, city services will be temporarily relocated to other facilities to ensure uninterrupted public services.
Helmo Station Park Development
In February 2026, the Council approved the final plans and budget for Helmo Station Park. This development is set to include various community amenities, enhancing recreational opportunities for residents. The project reflects the city’s commitment to fostering community engagement and providing quality public spaces.
These initiatives underscore Oakdale’s dedication to improving infrastructure and community facilities, ensuring a vibrant and safe environment for its residents.
