City seeks local resolution to apply for federal funds for North Main Street multiuse path
Summary
City staff asked the council to support an application to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for federal funding for the North Main Street multiuse path, which would connect existing multiuse paths near local schools and improve off-road pedestrian and bicycle safety.
City staff asked the Verona City Council to execute a local resolution supporting an application to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for federal funds to build the North Main Street multiuse path.
The staff member said the North Main Street multiuse path will provide an off-road alternative to North Main Street and connect an existing multiuse path south of Sugar Creek Elementary School to an existing path north of the WIDNR/LWAP area (as described in the presentation) and to nearby schools, improving safety for pedestrians and bicyclists.
The staff member said the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is accepting applications for federal funds under the applicable program and that the application process requires a local resolution of support executed by the local governing body.
Why it matters: The multiuse path is presented as a safety and connectivity project linking existing path segments and school facilities; a local resolution is required to apply for the listed state-administered federal funding program.
Council discussion in the transcript focused on grant timelines and accounting for the project in city planning; the excerpt did not record a final resolution vote in the provided material.
