The Village of Germantown's Public Works and Highway Committee has taken significant steps to enhance local infrastructure, approving a contract for the reconstruction of Pleasant View Drive during their recent meeting on May 6, 2025. The committee awarded the project to Wolf Paving Company for $677,237, a decision that reflects careful financial planning and strategic use of state funding.

This reconstruction project is part of the larger ARIP (Accelerated Road Improvement Program) initiative, which aims to improve road conditions throughout the village. The approved work will cover approximately two-thirds of Pleasant View Drive, extending from Bonneywell South to Lovers Lane. The remaining southern third will be addressed later, pending the completion of a design for the Menomonee River crossing.

The committee highlighted the advantageous pricing received for this project, which came in below the initial construction estimate of $780,000. With a 90% reimbursement from the state, the village's net cost for this project will be around $61,000, making it a financially sound investment for the community. Construction is expected to commence this summer and be completed by October.

In addition to the Pleasant View Drive project, the committee also awarded a contract for the 2025 seal coating program to Farner Asphalt Sealers for $259,716. These decisions underscore the village's commitment to maintaining and improving its roadways, ensuring safer and more efficient travel for residents.

As these projects move forward, the community can look forward to enhanced infrastructure that supports both daily commutes and overall quality of life in Germantown.
