Pewaukee hires consultant, kicks off Pewaukee Road trail extension study at under-budget proposal
Summary
Staff briefed the Public Works Committee on a trail-extension study for Pewaukee Road from Riverwood Drive to Tower Place; consultants proposed a $72,230 scope and a kickoff meeting was held.
City staff told the committee that a petition prompted a trail-extension study along Pewaukee Road from Riverwood Drive south to Tower Place and that the committee had asked the Common Council to secure the project in 2024.
Staff said they reviewed previously received RFPs and selected R.H. Batterman after a second interview and proposal review. The consultant’s proposal came in at $72,230, which staff said is under the originally budgeted amount. Staff said they held a project kickoff meeting the same day as the committee meeting and will start by reviewing three alternate alignments to determine viable connections.
Members asked about a related at-grade crossing on the South Side of Watertown Road; staff said the Department of Transportation had given conceptual approval for the crossing and that the design will include a refuge island and minor lane changes. Staff also said they had seen flags and utility markings along Watertown Road, likely related to utility work rather than the trail design.
Why it matters: the project advances a long-range active-transportation connection and was initiated by a citizen petition and existing capital budgeting.
