A. Issue
Approval of a Relocation Order and Acquisition Plat relative to the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge over Honey Creek Reconstruction project.
B. Background/Options
The Wisconsin Avenue Bridge Reconstruction project over Honey Creek is currently in design and planned to be constructed in 2025. This project is partially funded by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
In order to proceed with the reconstruction of the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge over Honey Creek, the City needs to obtain Temporary Limited Easements (TLE’s) from 5 adjacent properties to match project grades, as part of the typical WisDOT project process. All areas graded within the TLE’s will be restored in kind. This project does not involve any permanent acquisition of land from adjacent property owners.
Attached is a proposed Relocation Order with an Acquisition Plat exhibit for the project. This includes a schedule of the interests required from each of the parcels.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
Priority 2: Public Safety
Priority 3: Infrastructure
D. Fiscal Impact
The cost of these acquisitions is included within the capital budget, although the final price will not be determined until such time as our acquisition consultant has concluded negotiations with the property owners.
E. Recommendation
It is recommended that the Common Council approve the Relocation Order and Acquisition Plat so that grading associated with the Wisconsin Avenue Bridge Reconstruction project can be completed.
