Body
PREAMBLE
The City of Madison Engineering Division has established Project No. 53W0223 - Clyde Gallagher Ave Reconstruction & Starkweather Stream bank Stabilization. The City is proposing to construct a bike and pedestrian route along Starkweather Creek from Milwaukee Street to Darbo Drive in connection with stream bank improvements. This project is being closely coordinated with the project to construct a path from Darbo Drive to the existing Starkweather Path north of Aberg Avenue.
The City-funded project from Milwaukee Street to Darbo Drive is planned for construction in 2007. It will consist of a new bike and pedestrian bridge over Starkweather Creek, 0.2 miles of bike / pedestrian path and several blocks of street, reconstructed to accommodate bikes, with new sidewalk to serve pedestrians. It will also include stream bank and habitat restoration with removal of the existing steel sheeting along this section of creek. This will be the first major project implementing the City's Starkweather Creek Watershed Master Plan.
The project requires land interest acquisitions from four properties to facilitate the improvements.
The City of Madison Real Estate Section of the Community and Economic Development Unit has established a Master File / Project No. 8708 to administer the land interest acquisitions required for the proposed improvements for the Clyde Gallagher Ave Reconstruction & Starkweather Stream bank Stabilization Project adjacent to each of these four parcels.
Parcel 1 Real Estate Project No. 8735
Parcel 2 Real Estate Project No. 8734
Parcel 3 Real Estate Project No. 8712
