If you travel way out west on Highway 50 — like to Delavan — you might want to weigh in on the following from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation:
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is announcing a public involvement meeting for the proposed improvements to WIS 50 in the City of Delavan in Walworth County. The purpose of the meeting is to provide information on the layout of the proposed roadway and to discuss traffic impacts during construction. The meeting will be held from 5 to 7p.m. on Thursday, October 20 at the City of Delavan Fire Station- Training Room located at 811 Ann Street, Delavan, WI 53115. The meeting will follow an informal, open house format with short presentations given at 5:30pm and 6:30pm to discuss the proposed project staging. WisDOT Representatives will be present to provide information on the proposed improvements, answer questions, and take your comments. Persons with interest are encouraged to attend. The proposed project consists of three segments. The first segment is from Wisconsin Street to Park Avenue and will consist of pavement resurfacing and water main replacement. The second segment starts at Park Avenue and ends approximately 500 feet east of Wright Street and will include street widening and a reconfigured signalized intersection. The last segment consists of a new multi-use path along the north side of WIS 50 that will connect existing facilities at Wright Street to the commercial district east of I-43. Bicycle and pedestrian accommodations will be incorporated into the newly reconstructed areas. If you are unable to attend the meeting, or would like more information, please contact Project Manager Gary Metzer at (262) 548-5685 or at gary.metzer@dot.wi.gov.
