Board hears updates on nearby development, High Street reconstruction and bus-route risks
Summary
Finance committee chair briefed the board on a proposed QuickTrip at McCormick & Hwy 26 and a planned High Street reconstruction (1.3 miles) likely in summer 2028; staff flagged potential impacts on bus routes and access to school sites.
Board members were briefed on two local transportation and development projects that could affect district operations. Ross summarized a recent Janesville neighborhood meeting about a proposed development at McCormick and Hwy 26 including a potential convenience-store/quick-service site; he said the city was moving toward preliminary approval and that traffic impacts had been raised by neighbors.
Ross also described a City of Milton plan to reconstruct about 1.3 miles of High Street between Janesville Street and John Paul, likely in summer 2028, with repaving, bike lanes, curb and ramp ADA upgrades and a proposed three-way signal. He warned the project could require full closures April–September and said, "it does put us on notice that there's a potential disruption of High Street for the end of school of that year." Board members emphasized student safety on bus routes and asked staff to follow up with municipal planners to minimize school access impacts.
