At this point a number of other steps are being taken, including:
- DOT continues to review alternative feasibility. The Village has not yet received word on when we should have an updated response from the DOT.
- The Village Administrator is meeting with potential strategists / lobbyists to assist with the Village's effort to reach top level decision makers in advocating our desired outcomes. A proposal(s) may come before the Village Board shortly to formally engage a strategist / lobbyist. A schedule for this action is not yet set.
- The Village Administrator and Village President are seeking a meeting with the Chamber Director and Chamber President to better coordinate overall communication efforts regarding this project. Meeting date is yet to be determined, but connections have been made.
- State Senator Jon Erpenbach and County Supervisor Tim Kiefer are helping to facilitate a meeting of multiple agencies at multiple governmental levels in order to clarify and explore issues related to the 4-lane Main Street requirements vs. other broader alternatives (i.e., bypass, North Mendota Parkway, etc.). No meeting is set at this point, but work is underway to do so.
- As a reminder, the decision to construct the signals at Main/Holiday and roundabout at Main/Century has not changed. Those plans are being engineered and are moving forward. Timing is the big question - will that work be done in 2014 or 2015??? The answer is dependent on what option is carried out for the rest of the Main Street project (portions heading east of the roundabout).
