The Zoo Interchange environmental and engineering analysis will include a full and continuous public involvement process to give all stakeholders many opportunities to contribute to the project.

The study began in mid-2007. Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is creating a database to identify affected stakeholders and can meet with groups and constituents to discuss current information about the interchange to discuss the study. To be included in future mailings, contact:
