The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works and Wisconsin Department of Transportation are planning to replace North Lake Drive from East Newberry Boulevard to East Edgewood Avenue (.85 mile). The scope of work includes removing and replacing deteriorated pavement, curb & gutter, driveway approaches and sidewalk. Pedestrian curb ramps will be built to meet ADA compliance, and we will enhance pedestrian and bike accommodations. Drainage structures, street lighting and traffic signals will also be upgraded.
Estimated construction cost is $5 to $6 million dollars. Approximate Breakdown:
We are currently in the design phase through 2023. Construction is slated for 2024.
The first public involvement meeting was held virtually on July 15, 2020 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The project team provided an overview of the project and schedule, and most importantly, it was an opportunity for the public share their experience, ideas and concerns to help start the design process. It was a great turn out for a virtual meeting, over 40 people participated.
Public Involvement Meeting #2 - TBD Purpose: Provide traffic data, and show feasible design options based on initial community feedback, and design work We want you to tell us: How do the proposed designs work for you? Do the proposed designs capture what the community wants? Are we missing anything?
Public Involvement Meeting #3 - TBD Purpose: Show final design plans
Pre-Construction Meeting - TBD Purpose: Outline construction schedule, staging details, and address concerns of expected impacts
