Title
Approving plans and specifications for the Southwest Bike Path Phase IV ("Missing Link" Path). 4th, 5th, & 8th Ald. Districts.
Body
The City is proposing to construct a shared use path, including new overpass of Park Street and Murray Street, which will connect the existing Southwest path at Randall Avenue with the Brittingham Path at North Shore Drive. The project will provide a safe and direct route for bicycles and pedestrians into downtown Madison and complete an important link in the City's bike and pedestrian network. The project will be constructed by Wisconsin Department of Transportation using federal funds for a portion of project costs.
A previous Resolution (No. 59999, ID 34362) was adopted July 2, 2003 authorizing a Three Party Design Services agreement with Wisconsin Department of Transportation and Strand Associates, Inc. for design services.
A previous Resolution (No. 60720, ID 32961) was adopted December 3, 2002 authorizing a cost sharing agreement with Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the design phase of this project.
A new resolution is pending which authorizes a revised agreement that includes design as well as construction costs, and supersedes the December 3, 2002 agreement.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the plans and specifications for the Southwest Bike Path, Phase IV are hereby approved.
