Larry asks a good question. Is this creating another problematic
crossing for cyclists using Military Ridge? What's the projected
traffic volume here?

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

I'll try attaching a map showing the location of the Spoke/Sprocket street.
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

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.
