Committee agrees to share $100,000 engineering cost on proposed 2033 Highway 42 resurfacing
Summary
Casey reported that Wisconsin DOT plans a 2033 mill-and-overlay on Highway 42; the DOT asked the city to share about $100,000 of the estimated $400,000 preliminary engineering cost (25%); the committee authorized participation and to have the mayor sign the engineering participation agreement.
Casey reported that the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is planning a resurfacing project for Highway 42 (targeted for 2033) that would include milling and overlay, spot slab replacement and curb-ramp work to meet ADA standards. DOT estimates preliminary engineering at about $400,000, with federal/state funds covering the majority and the city's share roughly $100,000 (a 75/25 split reported during the meeting).
Committee members discussed funding sources and timing; staff said the capital projects fund will cover the city's engineering share and that invoices typically arrive in small increments over time. Casey clarified the work is largely a resurfacing project rather than a full reconstruction and that DOT is expected to cover curb-ramp ADA work in this scope. Members also asked about potential parking-lane responsibilities and detour routing; staff said the project, as drafted, does not require the city to change parking lanes and detours would use county roads in part.
The committee moved to authorize the mayor to sign the DOT participation for the engineering phase and agreed to fund the city share from the capital projects fund; the motion carried by roll call.
