Analysis
This resolution directs the Commissioner of Public Works to execute a project agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for programming and construction of the improvement of West Appleton Avenue (USH 41) from West Capitol Drive (STH 190) to USH 45 under the State Trunk Highway Program. Approval of the agreement with the WISDOT will enable the project to be undertaken using 100 percent Federal/State aid for preliminary engineering costs and approximately 94 percent Federal/State aid for construction costs. The estimated total cost of the project is $10,600,000 of which the City of Milwaukee’s construction share is estimated to be $675,000 and the grantor share is $9,925,000. Approval for preliminary engineering and construction costs will be in future resolutions. City of Milwaukee costs for plan review, which will be funded 100 percent by the City of Milwaukee, are estimated to be $15,000.
