Site work and paving for a road / highway in Fitchburg, Wisconsin. Completed plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

This project includes the reconstruction of S. Syene Road from McCoy Road to south of E. Cheryl Parkway. This would be a rural to urban reconstruct with intersection improvements. A roundabout is planned at E. Cheryl Parkway. This project would also evaluate a potential speed limit reduction on S. Syene Road and be designed based on that lower speed limit. Note: $800,000 for the railroad crossing at Syene and Lacy moved from CIP #3468 Lacy Road to CIP #3368 S. Syene - McCoy to Lacy. This also changes the timing on the railroad improvements from 2017 to 2021 based on the different project timelines. To be funded by TID #4. 2018-2027 CIP Update: Accelerate planning from 2019 to 2018 and increase from $15,000 to $25,000. In order to be eligible for applying for grant funding we will need sufficient planning completed to know the typical cross section, pedestrian accommodation methods, and have cost estimates prepared based on these factors. 2021-2030 CIP Update: Increased funding to update costs based cost estimate completed as part of Design Study (total increased from $6,440,000 to $8,000,000 in 2021. Allocated some funding to utility assessments. 2022-2031 CIP Council Amendment: Split project into two phases and added funding ($60,000 in 2022 and $2,000,000 in 2023) for the second phase, paid by grant funding and additional borrowing. 2023-2032 CIP Update: Funding for phase 2 increased to reflect revised construction cost estimate. Phase 2 is postponed until 2024. In 2021, phase 1 was assumed to cost $5.4M to construct and 90% construction cost estimates are now $6.26M. Phase 2 includes 1/2 mile of Syene Rd from Nannyberry Park to W. Clayton as a City project and W. Clayton through the McCoy intersection as a HSIP grant funded project. The phase 2 city project is estimated to cost $3.25M and the phase 2 HSIP project is estimated to cost $2.75M. Additional grant funding is being pursued in the summer of 2022 for the city portion of phase 2. $2000 of assessment is included in 2023 for sanitary laterals. This brings the project total cost up $2.54M to $13.85M from the previously estimated $11.32M. 2025-2034 CIP Update: Updated cost based on 90% engineer's opinion of probable construction cost. Amounts are re-budgeted for phase 2. Previously authorized funding: Phase 1: 2018: planning/design/engineering $25,000 (debt) 2020: planning/design/engineering $580,000 (debt) 2021: construction $8,000,000 ($500,000 storm assessed; $160,000 water assessed; $880,000 TID #4; $6,460,000 debt) Phase 2: 2022: planning/design/engineering $60,000 (debt) 2024: construction $4,306,000 (debt/grants) Project Fund Balance as of 12/31/23: $3,650,652 As of May 7, 2025, this project is under construction.
