This is a view of the main entrance into the City offices here at Eden Prairie City Center. The brick walls that line the concrete stairs coming into our building deteriorated to the point were small chucks of brick had dislodged and broken off. It became noticeable during this past winter. Our Facilities team organized a repair project for this spring that is almost done.
The contractor has excavated the soil away from the wall in order to install some protective coating against the brick. We hope this will protect the brick from water and moisture damage in the future. The contractor also tuck-pointed the mortar where it was loose and replaced broken brick where necessary.
The yellow caution tape should be down soon. The the main entrance into our building will be fully back in business before the end of this month.
