The City of Oak Grove’s annual street maintenance program includes streets within the Ponds Development.  The locations of the streets identified for 2025 include: 

• Mill and Overlay Projects (1.5” bituminous).  Work includes concrete curb spot replacement, sidewalk pedestrian ramp replacement and roadway milling and repaving.  Work is anticipated to begin in May.
• Zion Parkway NW (228^th Ln NW to 225^th Ln NW)
• 228^th Ln NW (Zion Parkway to the end of the cul-de-sac)
• 225^th Ln NW (Zion Parkway to the end of the cul-de-sac)
• Note: Additional Pond Development road segments may be added to the project.

The City is purposefully delaying improvements to the most northerly 1,500 feet of Zion Parkway NW.  The City plans to solicit development proposals for the land of the former 8-acre wastewater treatment effluent pond.
