Click on the link to the right for a location map. https://www.cityofmadison.com/sites/default/files/news/attachments/locationmap.pdf The meeting will be conducted in an informal, open house format to allow for dialogue and individual questions and comments. A brief presentation will be given at 6:30 p.m. The city of Madison and design consultant representatives will be available to discuss the proposed project and address questions or concerns. The proposed project will include reconstruction of the existing roadway from just east of N. Baldwin Street to immediately east of N. First Street. The proposed project includes pavement reconstruction, curb and gutter, widening along the west side of N. First Street, existing sidewalk spot replacements and repairs, new multi-use path/sidewalk, Americans with Disabilities Act compliant curb ramps, on-street bicycle lanes, storm sewer lateral replacement, new street lighting, replacement of sanitary sewer and water main, new pavement marking, and new signs. The project will include fitting existing drainage patterns into the reconstruction. The existing storm sewer system will be used to control stormwater. On-street bicycle accommodations in both directions will be provided as part of the project. The exception being between Marston Avenue and the Yahara River (adjacent to Tenney Park), where an outbound on-street bike lane will be provided but an inbound bike-lane will not.Inbound bicyclists and pedestrians will utilize the existing multi-use path within Tenney Park. To accommodate the outbound bike-lane adjacent to Tenney Park while avoiding impacts to Tenney Park, maintaining a 4-foot wide median between opposing travel lanes and minimizing impacts to existing terrace trees and sidewalk, it is proposed to narrow the travel lanes from 11 feet to 10 feet adjacent to Tenney Park (between Marston Avenue and the Yahara River).Narrowing the travel lanes provides the width needed to construct an outbound on-street bike lane without having to widen the roadway. Pedestrian accommodations currently exist and will be maintained on both sides of the roadway. Tenney Park and the Yahara River Parkway (including the Yahara River Bridge) are adjacent to and cross the project and considered public park areas [Section 4(f) properties] and/or are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are City of Madison Landmarks.Impacts are not anticipated to these properties but temporary easements may be needed to accommodate grading.The project will not be reconstructing the Yahara River Bridge.The only work anticipated on the bridge is pavement marking modifications to mark on-street bike lanes.The project team is seeking your input on any concerns individuals may have with how the project is impacting these resources. Persons with a concern for or knowledge about historic buildings and structures and archaeological sites are encouraged to attend this meeting or provide comments to the local units of government or the consultant. The city of Madison will be assessing property owners in accordance with city policy. The project is currently in the preliminary design phase with design completion anticipated in August 2017 and construction anticipated for 2018.
