Committee approves design agreement for County Highway M (Wolf Street) in Village of Oregon
Summary
The Dane County Public Works and Transportation Committee recommended approval of Resolution 2024-355, a design agreement for County Highway M (Wolf Street) from Pleasant Old Drive to Janesville Street in the village of Oregon; construction will be addressed later and staff said costs will be shared with the village.
Dane County’s Public Works and Transportation Committee recommended approval Monday of Resolution 2024-355, authorizing a design agreement for County Highway M (Wolf Street) between Pleasant Old Drive and Janesville Street in the village of Oregon.
Committee members moved the measure and approved it by voice vote. Committee member Scargill made the motion to recommend approval, and a committee member seconded.
County staff described the item as a typical collaboration with a local municipality and said the agreement covers only design work; construction will come later. A staff member said the county will share the design cost with the village. The staff member summarized the item in part: “This is typical collaboration with local municipalities. We jointly do projects together.” The staff member also said the county is responsible for a portion of the design cost and that the village of Oregon would cover some of the remainder, but the precise breakdown of the county’s share was not specified in the meeting record.
Committee members asked minor logistical questions about the length of the segment; staff said it is under one mile. With no further discussion, the committee voted in favor by voice.
The measure covers only the design agreement; no construction contract was before the committee. Committee materials and later construction agenda items are expected to specify the final cost-sharing amounts and construction schedule.
