Front Street Forward: 10/13/26 Construction Update

The concrete trucks in downtown Casselton are busy as more brand new streets are laid down. Last week crews were focused on 6th Avenue parking and Langer Ave curbs. This week the focus is on Front Street, west of 6th Ave, and sidewalks and driveways on 6th Ave.

An RRFB (rectangular rapid flashing beacon) is being installed at the intersection of Langer and Front, much like the flashing pedestrian warning lights near Gordy’s Travel Plaza. The addition of this beacon was designed to make it safer and easier to cross Langer on foot.

Last week, the City Council voted to flatten the curbs and reduce the size of two planter boxes in the Langer/Front St intersection. This is to make it easier for semis and large trucks to navigate the intersection.

Downtown businesses need you! As you can imagine, it’s been a slower summer than most, but Casselton continues to show up for our small business community and we thank you! Mark your calendars! Thursday, November 19, is our third annual Casselton Jingle & Mingle!

Project Purpose

The downtown district’s streets and sidewalks, originally built in the 1950s, are now showing significant wear. Many are in poor condition, and the aging underground utilities, including lead water service lines, may require replacement. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area by modernizing its infrastructure, improving safety, and ensuring long-term functionality for the community.

Project Scope

This project will revitalize the downtown area of Casselton by reconstructing and updating underground utilities, streets, sidewalks, lighting, and other improvements.

Community Voices Shaping the Future of Downtown Casselton

Public input has played a critical role in shaping the vision for this project. Throughout the planning process, and thanks to a grant from the Casselton Area Community Foundation, we’ve gathered feedback from Casselton residents, business owners, and other stakeholders to better understand community priorities and needs. To the left, you’ll find summaries of that input, including survey results and recommendations from our social design consultant. These documents reflect the ideas, hopes, and concerns shared by the community and how they’ve informed the project direction.

Public Input Meeting

A public input meeting was held with directly impacted downtown business owners to discuss the preliminary Construction Phasing and Access Plan on November 17th, 2025. A recording of that meeting can be seen here.
