WisDOT meeting focuses on Tower reconstruction project

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation Northwest Region in Superior is announcing a public information meeting to discuss a proposed design alternative for the reconstruction of State Highway 35 from Belknap Street to North Third Street — Tower Avenue.

WisDOT, in partnership with the city of Superior, is offering two opportunities to attend the meeting. The meetings are scheduled from noon to 1:30 p.m. and 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Lake Superior Room, 1701 N. Fourth St., Superior.

The purpose of this meeting is to inform the public of the status of the streetscape design and the proposed construction staging. Final design concepts to be presented include the lane configuration and “look” of the finished roadway; including parking, sidewalk, street lighting, side streets and utilities. This is the opportunity to discuss owner access issues, construction access and drainage needs for parking lots.

The proposed project would reconstruct Tower Avenue to improve traffic flow and safety for motorists and pedestrians.

WisDOT and city of Superior representatives will provide a formal presentation followed by discussion about the proposed concepts and displays.

The public is encouraged to attend the meeting, provide written comments and ask questions about the project.

If you are unable to attend the meeting, or would like more information, contact Project Manager Stephanie King at (715) 392-7874. Written comments regarding the project can be mailed to Stephanie King, WisDOT, 1701 N. Fourth St., Superior, WI 54880.
