I'm resending this because the attachment caused Bikies software to choke. Got this [below] from the V. of Shorewood Hills administrator. A bit more info on the work to be done.
As an aside, I think people getting off the bus at the stops on University Ave west of University Bay Dr/Farley and walking to the UW and Am Fam Hospitals will find walking on the east side of Univ Bay Dr quite annoying, especially since there isn't a sidewalk to whole way. The Village has a detour outlined below, but it is ridiculously out of the way and not ADA compliant. (Any lawyers out there?) There was a pdf of the detour attached to the email I received, but I can't send the attachment to the list. I'll see if I can get them to post it on their site, but I'm not optimistic.

The street will be widened by moving the western curb line and sidewalk approximately 10 feet west of its current location and is being done to better accommodate bicycle traffic. When completed, this stretch of ****University Bay Drive**** will contain one northbound vehicle lane, one northbound bicycle lane, one southbound vehicle lane and one southbound shared bicycle/vehicle lane.**** ** ** The widening requires burial of major overhead utility wires, which will begin July 16 and extend for the next 10 weeks. The actual street widening will occur from October 1 to October 31. Throughout construction, traffic in the work area will be shifted toward the east side of the street, with one lane kept open northbound and southbound at all times. Northbound lanes will be shifted, but not closed. Southbound traffic will be confined to one lane north of the railroad tracks. Bicycles will be allowed to share the lanes, as they currently do. **** ** ** The existing sidewalk along the west side of ****University Bay Drive****from ****University Avenue**** to 250 feet of ****Marshall Court**** will be closed during the project. Pedestrians will be detoured to the east side of ****University Bay Drive south**** of ****Marshall Court****, and then around the west and north sides of the ****800 University Bay Drive****office building for destinations north of ****Marshall Court****. The detour route involves several sets of stairs. A sketch of the detour is attached.**** ** ** Bicyclists and pedestrians are advised to use extreme caution in the area due to the heavy traffic volume and construction activities.**** ** ** ** **
