Council approves Garner Street extension design, Kelvin Grove stabilization and accepts Windermere phases into city maintenance
Summary
The council authorized professional services and contracts for street connectivity and stabilization work: $240,000 for design of Garner Street extension, $246,187.50 for Kelvin Grove foam injection stabilization, and accepted Windermere phases 3 and 4 into the city's maintenance program.
The Madison City Council on June 30 approved multiple engineering measures aimed at improving connectivity and stabilizing residential streets.
Council approved a professional services agreement with OHM Advisors for survey and design of the Garner Street extension (project 25017) from Lifeway to Madison Boulevard. The contract is for $240,000 to be paid from the engineering department budget. An engineering representative told the council, "There was always the plan to continue Garner Street down to Madison Boulevard. It provides connectivity to downtown, it adds connectivity to the new school. It just gives us more ways to get around town and it will help with congestion." The resolution passed on a roll-call vote.
The council also approved resolution 2025-196R awarding a contract to Eurotech USA Inc. for void fill and stabilization on Kelvin Grove Drive (project 25025) using foam injection, at a price of $246,187.50 from the engineering budget. Engineering staff said the city had used the same foam-injection method in Westchester last year with "good results" after observing performance through a full seasonal cycle.
Finally, the council accepted Windermere phases 3 and 4 into the City of Madison maintenance program via resolutions 2025-200R and 2025-201R. Council members approved both acceptances during the meeting.
Council members voted in favor of each item during the meeting's engineering reports portion; clerks recorded the motions as passed. Engineering staff said the Garner Street extension is intended to improve local circulation and access to downtown, while the Kelvin Grove work addresses localized ground instability. The Windermere acceptance places those new neighborhood streets into routine city maintenance.
