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. 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.
