The existing sign at Highway 36 and Hadley Avenue will soon be electronic.
Some lettering for a notice about the city’s upcoming tree giveaway had fallen off the “Welcome to Oakdale” sign at Highway 36 and Hadley Avenue on Wednesday. That won’t be a problem in the future. The Oakdale City Council last week approved plans for a new $19,000 electronic sign, which will be installed this summer, said Dave Schaps, assistant city administrator. The existing sign is “kind of past its life,” he said. Hadley Avenue is Oakdale “Signature Street,” and the sign’s visibility from the highway makes it a good spot to relay happenings in the city, Administrator Craig Waldron said. A new sign would “enhance our ability to communicate,” he told Patch earlier this month. “Revving up the technology would make it even better.” The …

The city designated the streets that will be a part of the 2013 Reconstruction and Overlay Program.
Did your street make the cut for 2013? The Oakale city council approved the streets for next year's street reconstruction and overlay project. The annual reconstruction and overlay project is part of the city's Capital Improvement Program. City staff choose the streets based on some of the lowest overall pavement conditions. Most of the streets chosen for 2013 were constructed more than 22 years ago, which also factored into the decision. Thirty-nine neighborhoods will have street work done in 2013. The city will host neighborhood meetings in November, hearings in January and send for bids in April. While most of the streets are following the plan in the CIP, the city made some adjustments based on some of streets' quality. The Sun …

The Oakdale City Council approved a request to enforce a city ordinance after an Oakdale liquor store failed its compliance check for the second time.
An employee of Pagerti’s Liquor store was caught selling alcohol to an underage customer earlier this month, causing the liquor store to receive a fine and a three-day suspension. Oakdale Police Chief Bill Sullivan went before the city council Tuesday regarding the incident that occurred on Aug. 4.
