Muscoda Board approves $139,000 downtown parking lot on former water‑tower site
Summary
The Village Board unanimously approved plans for a 25‑stall parking lot (two handicap stalls) with infiltration features on the old water‑tower site, with construction slated after the Morel Festival in May and an estimated cost of $139,000.
The Muscoda Village Board on Feb. 11 approved plans, specifications and estimates to build a downtown parking lot on the former water‑tower site, with an estimated cost of $139,000.
Engineer Nies distributed draft plans showing 25 parking stalls, including two handicap spaces, parking blocks and an infiltration system. The design keeps the alley unchanged and adds a separate entrance off Nebraska Street. Board members voted unanimously to approve the plans and estimates; the roll‑call vote listed E Johnson, Wiederholt, Meyer, Anderson, Seifert, Miller and Imhoff voting yes and no votes recorded as none.
The project is not expected to start until after the Morel Festival in May; the anticipated construction window is about one month. Village officials said the Utility Shop will construct the lot on the old water‑tower site.
Why it matters: The new lot adds downtown parking capacity and includes stormwater infiltration features to manage runoff. The Board tied timing to the annual Morel Festival to avoid work during the event.
Next steps: With plans approved, the Board expects the Utility Shop to schedule construction after the festival; funding sources were not specified at the Feb. 11 meeting.
