City staff preview East Rusk shared‑use path; construction eyed for 2028
City Engineering presented plans for a ~2,500‑ft, 10‑ft shared‑use path on East Rusk Avenue to connect recent West Badger/N. Rusk work to Rimrock and the Cap City Trail; the project would require curb realignment, utility upgrades, some tree removals, and construction coordination with businesses and Dane County.
