A. Issue
Approval of a Relocation Order and Acquisition Plat for the USH 18 Blue Mound Rd. Project, CIP #1123
B. Background/Options
The USH 18 Blue Mound Rd. pavement rehabilitation project from N. 106th St. to N. 68th St. is currently in design and scheduled for construction in 2029. This project is mostly funded by WisDOT, with the exception of intersection improvements that will include bumpouts, rehabilitation of the Blue Mound Rd. Bridge over Honey Creek, which is a shared asset between Wauwatosa and the City of Milwaukee, and a multi-use trail on the south side of the road from the Hank Aaron Trail at Mayfair Rd east to N. 97th St.
Wauwatosa needs to obtain temporary limited easements (TLE's) and some FEE acquisition to complete the work (TLE only - 24, FEE and TLE - 7 for total of 31 parcels). There is design ongoing at intersections for bumpouts that will likely add another 13 parcels and an amendment to the real estate plat is expected in 2026. In order to maintain the project schedule, WisDOT needs approval of this plat and relocation order to continue with those parcels outside of the influence of intersection work.
Attached is the proposed Relocation Order with an Acquisition Plat exhibit. The exhibit includes a Schedule of Lands and Interests Required for each of the properties. Following approval and issuance of the Relocation Order by the Common Council, the consultant team working on the project will prepare the appropriate appraisals to establish the value of the acquisition areas. The City of Milwaukee is leading coordination with the consultant team on behalf of Milwaukee and Wauwatosa on this project and has contracted with the Consultant to complete the work.
