So Spoke/Sproet Drive crosses over the Military Ridge Path and Williamsburg is an at-grade crossing?

Mary and Steve will get it to their individual addresses, hopefully it will stay attached for the list as well. Else it can be found at http://wi-fitchburg.civicplus.com/1091/Spoke-Sprocket-Drive The road goes through the ex Harder Paper Company building to tee with the frontage road. On the south it comes out in the same place that the current private drive comes onto McKee Road, next to the Serenity Club. They will get a new driveway, behind the well building, btw, to set it back an appropriate distance from the intersection, which will also be getting lights in time. The Arrowhead Development planning docs (plan being the key word... things have and will change from the plan over time) for that entire area are at http://www.fitchburgwi.gov/319/Arrowhead-Redevelopment-Plan Dorothy Krause Dane County Board of Supervisors Fitchburg Common Council [email protected] 608-271-7532 http://friendsofdorothykrause.com Progressive - where idealism meets reality -----Original Message----- From: Bikies [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mary Mullen Sent: Friday, August 15, 2014 4:24 AM To: Steve Arnold; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Bikies] Military Ridge Path closed between McKee Rd north to Thermo Fisher private road I was wondering why there was that longish, rough gravel section. Now I know. Does this listserve accept attachments like pictures of maps? It would be nice to see a map of the area and its plans.
