Body
The City of Madison is proposing to construct a paved multi-use (bicycle / pedestrian) path that will extend the Capital City Path from Buckeye Road to Dondee Road on the southeast side of Madison, generally following the corridor of the Wisconsin and Southern Railroad. This is a key segment of the remaining 6-mile gap in what will become a continuous 140-mile path across the State, the goal of a 1996 MOU between Madison, Fitchburg, Dane County, and the Wisconsin DNR.
The project was awarded a county grant under the Dane County PARC & Ride Bike Trail Grant Program that will reimburse 50% of participating construction costs to a maximum of $133,000. The proposed project is planned for construction in 2017. The City is responsible for 100% of design and real estate acquisition costs.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute a cost sharing agreement with the County of Dane for construction and construction oversight of the Capital City Path Segment 1 project.
