Wausau Board approves $42,000 change order to add lighting on First Street and River Drive
Summary
Board approved a change order to add infrastructure for lighting along First Street and River Drive after a resident request; fixtures and poles will be budgeted later.
The Wausau Board of Public Works approved a change order May 20 to add lighting infrastructure along First Street and River Drive as part of the 2025 Street Construction Project B. City staff recommended the change order after a resident request and local alder support.
City staff said the change was supported by Alder Killian and that the area was missing lighting between River Drive and the rest of First Street. Staff presented a plan and negotiated prices and recommended adding the infrastructure for a total of $42,000. Staff specified that the $42,000 covers infrastructure only; the actual lighting fixtures and poles will be budgeted in 2026 and poles would be installed later.
The board moved and seconded the change order and approved it by voice vote. No additional funding source detail was provided in the discussion and no amendments were proposed at the meeting.
