Title

Approving the construction of a bike path on the Northeast Park to connect Tancho Drive to the Underpass of 151

 

Body

The City of Madison is planning a 2025 bike path project on the Northeast Park (Tancho Dr to the USH 151 Underpass). This project consists of a 10-ft wide, shared-use path that will go through Northeast Park but will leave space for future development of the open space to the north (currently farmland) and the wooded-area to the south (for future single-track). This project will help connect the City of Madison to the City of Sun Prairie. Path lighting will be included along the entire stretch of new path, and improvements will be made at the Tancho Drive crossing. Stormwater impacts are anticipated to be minimal, the path will follow existing contours and maintain existing drainage patterns.

 

Seeking approval from the Board of Park Commissioners on the design of the bike path.
