US 12 at Fort Atkinson - public involvement

Public meetings | Newsletters | Advisory committee

Highway projects are developed as a cooperative effort among the public, state and federal review agencies, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Preparing a project like the US 12 expansion from concept to actual construction takes many years. Extensive effort is always made to keep the public involved and informed throughout all stages of development.

Public involvement during the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

Public participation is at the forefront of the EIS process as solutions are explored. WisDOT has formed an advisory committee to review the progress of the EIS and continue to provide local perspective. The committee has held 12 meetings to date.

The US 12 Advisory Committee consists of:

Three city of Fort Atkinson representatives
Three town of Koshkonong representatives
One Rock County representative
Two Jefferson County representatives
Two town of Lima representatives
Two town of Milton representatives

Environmental justice

WisDOT is committed to equity and fairness and wants to ensure no one is excluded from the US 12 project decision making process.

Identifying and addressing a disproportionately high number of adverse effects on minority, low-income, disabled or elderly individuals will help achieve environmental justice and promote nondiscrimination in the community.

If you know of anyone who may be impacted by this project and whose voice is not being heard, please contact Larry Barta at WisDOT's Southwest Region, Madison Office, by calling (608) 246-3884.
