Summary

The committee voted to forward a recommendation to the full council supporting Waukesha County’s request that WisDOT include bike and pedestrian accommodations in a planned diverging‑diamond redesign of an I‑94 interchange to connect Frame Park and the Fox River Trail.

The Public Works Committee voted to recommend the City Council adopt a supporting resolution urging the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to include bike and pedestrian accommodations in a proposed diverging‑diamond redesign of an I‑94 interchange.

Speaker 2 outlined the county’s request and said the accommodation would help link Frame Park to the Fox River Trail and other regional paths. "This is really just kinda requesting, for us to adopt a supporting resolution, that we would send to the DOT to show that the city of Pewaukee finds this as a beneficial, to the community and would like to see that diverging diamond have a bike and ped accommodation on it," Speaker 2 said.

Committee members asked whether crossings would be controlled; Speaker 2 said most crossing points would be at signalized intersections and that the DOT’s preliminary design showed bikes on one side of the diverging diamond and pedestrians on the other. Speaker 1 moved to forward the recommendation to council; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.

Staff said the county prefers a rail‑corridor crossing but that option has stalled with the railroad; the diverging‑diamond redesign offers an alternative opportunity to connect regional trails.
