Menomonie City wins $600,000 WisDOT grant for 14th Street resurfacing; park and utility projects near completion
Summary
The Joint Town/City Planning Committee heard updates from Menomonie City on a $600,000 MSIS grant to resurface 14th St/Dairyland Road, near-complete park and court work, Well #9 construction, and several commercial developments including a newly opened Culver’s and a Chipotle under construction.
The Joint Town/City Planning Committee heard updates Tuesday that Menomonie City has secured roughly $600,000 in Municipal Street Improvement (MSIS) funding from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to resurface 14th Street/Dairyland Road between 9th Street and the city limit. Eric Atkinson, a committee member, reported the project will likely take three to four years to complete.
Atkinson also said the Pine Avenue and Wakanda Park project is nearing completion, with resurfacing and painting of new basketball and pickleball courts scheduled for this spring. He reported that Well No. 9 is being drilled and tested; water quality met expectations and water quantity is slightly higher than anticipated.
The City has adjusted several speed limits by ordinance along County Road B, 650th Avenue and South Broadway Street, and plans to bid street construction projects on Oak Avenue and Heller Road later this year. Atkinson described planned pedestrian-safety upgrades funded through a Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant: new rapid rectangular flashing beacons (RRFBs) at multiple mid-block crossings near Oaklawn Elementary, the Stout Road/21st Street tunnel frontage, Broadway Street South at 24th Avenue, and a mid-block crossing on 24th Avenue near River Heights Elementary.
Committee members also noted recent commercial activity in Menomonie: Amazon’s local facility is fully enclosed with remaining site work to complete, Phillips Plastic is expanding, a Culver’s in north Menomonie opened May 18, 2026, and a Chipotle is under construction at the former Denny’s site.
The committee did not take formal action on these updates. The next meeting is scheduled for Aug. 18, 2026.
