US 51 central segment - Stoughton Road alternatives analysis

The alternatives analysis includes development of long-term solutions to address the problems identified in the needs assessment and preparation of an environmental impact statement (EIS).

Alternatives to be analyzed were developed and selected using public input. An alternative solutions workshop was held May 3, 2004, at La Follette High School to provide a community-wide opportunity for public comment.

Coordination with local officials, businesses, neighborhood associations and other focus groups is on-going throughout the design process. Two advisory committees are helping guide the process.

Proposed alternatives:

List of roadway alternatives

Road and bike facility alternatives

The alternatives in this section were presented at public information meetings held on March 29 and 30, 2006. They were developed by the project team based upon input gathered at public workshops held in 2004.

The project team includes a bicycle consultant, WE Bike, to provide recommendations to improve the travel environment for bicyclists and pedestrians. All the alternatives include grade-separated bike/pedestrian crossings, and some off-road path linkages.

The alternatives may be revised based upon comments received at the 2006 public information meetings, subsequent meetings with residents, business owners and local officials.

Bicycle and pedestrian facilities

Preliminary costs

The project study team developed preliminary estimates of costs and impacts. These will be refined and developed further in the draft environmental impact statement.
