body
WHEREAS, the City of Wauwatosa supports the application submitted to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) for the 2023-2026 Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) award cycle. The purpose of the application is to seek federal grant funding to construct a multiuse trail along Wisconsin Avenue and S.T.H. 100 (Mayfair Road) and improve pedestrian crossings; and
