Welcome to the online public involvement event for Project Design ID 6995-00-12, the

reconstruction of the East Davis Street in the City of Beaver Dam.

This is the only public involvement events for this reconstruction project. We have

recently completed preliminary plans.

1

Housekeeping items for the Zoom Meeting. Please be sure to mute your microphone for

the duration of the meeting. This meeting will be recorded and posted on the City of

Beaver Dam’s website. In the interest of the recording, please save your comments until

the end of the meeting. You can place comments in the chat window, or use the “raise

hand” function which will indicate your interest in participating.

The presentation will follow the outline of topic shown here. I’ll introduce the project

team, give an overview of the project, discuss proposed improvements and finally

discussion construction schedule, costs, and design schedule.

This is a list of key personnel working on this project. You may contact Todd Janssen at

the City of Beaver Dam, or Jaime Kurten at MSA Professional Services, Inc. for any

comments, questions or concerns. Contact information is provided on the last slide of

this presentation.

The proposed project location is on East Davis Street between S. Spring Street and S.

University Avenue. The project includes connecting into the intersection of Spring Street

and East Davis Street that will be completed in 2020 to the east side of the University

Avenue intersection.

This graphic represents the existing cross section on East Davis Street. The

roadway/pavement width is 34’ from face of curb to face of curb. The existing terrace

width (area between the curb and sidewalk) is approximately 4’ and the existing

sidewalk if 4’. The existing right of way is 50’ from the back of sidewalk to the back of

sidewalk.

6

The proposed improvements include storm sewer replacement, sanitary sewer & water

main, street lighting, ADA Compliant sidewalk (5’ width vs existing 4’ width), and existing

pavement marking and signing.

7

This graphic portrays the proposed roadway cross section. The new roadway will

reallocate the width within the existing right of way. The roadway corridor will consist of

two 11’ travel lanes and parking only on the south side of East Davis Street. This will

allow for wider 5’ ADA compliant sidewalks while maintaining the existing terrace width

of approximately 4’ on both sides of E. Davis Street. The roadway will match the back of

sidewalks on either side of East Davis Street and will not be wider than it is currently.

8

Right of way will be minimized to the extent possible but may be needed to construct

ADA compliant curb ramps at the intersections and easements for grading behind the

sidewalk to improve drainage.

East Davis Street will be closed for the duration of construction and a detour route that

utilizes Stone Street will be posted. Access to locals within the project limits will be

maintained during construction.

The project is part of the STP-Urban funding program. This provides State/Federal

funding for 80% of the construction costs. The remaining 20% is provided by the locals

for participating items. For non-participating items (i.e. municipal utility improvements)

these are paid for 100% by the locals. The City of Beaver Dam typically assesses for

those items as noted above. They can only assess for the portion that is paid for locally

(i.e. the 20% portion of the project). The current construction cost estimate is $2.5

million.

After the public involvement comment period, we will be progressing towards

completion of the environmental document in the Fall 2020. Final plans are due in the

fall of 2021. Construction is planned for 2022.

This concludes the Public Involvement Event for this project. Comments on the proposed

design are encouraged. Please email, mail, or phone your comments to Jaime Kurten of

MSA or Todd Janssen of the City of Beaver Dam by September 1, 2020. Thank you for

taking the time to attend this public involvement event, and have a great evening.
