Just a reminder that there will be a joint meeting of the LRTPC, TPC & PBMVC* (see below to see which committees these are) tomorrow (Thursday) at 5 PM in room 260 of the Municipal Bldg. The only item on the agenda is to review the Wisconsin DOT's plans for Verona Rd. I believe that this will also be broadcast on City Channel live. I know it will be taped, so can be viewed later on cable or on-line.
I was going to write a blog post with photos of the displays from last week's public information meeting, but I'm not sure if I'll get them up in time. Until then, there is some info on the DOT web site, as well as the full Supplemental Draft Environmental Impact Statement. http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/projects/d1/verona/index.htm If you dig into the link above, you will see that there are three stages. The really big, expensive, giant freeway conversion isn't scheduled until 2030. But before then, there are some pretty major changes planned, including a new road to go under Verona Rd where the SW Path currently goes under. The other major change is that there is a "jug handle" planned for in front of the Home Depot area. All of this is too complicated to explain in an email, which is why I wanted to link to the displays from the DOT meeting. However, I'm not sure my little camera would do the trick. We'll see. Anyway, this is a huge project - both in financial terms and in amount of asphalt and concrete. I hope those interested will either attend or tune in to City Cable. *Long Range Transportation Planning Committee Transit and Parking Commission Pedestrian/Bicycle/Motor Vehicle Commission Robbie Webber Chair, LRTPC and PBMVC
