When Will the Racine Avenue Rec Trail Be Finished?

There's about one mile left and work should commence in spring.

Roads Recap: Racine Avenue Rec Trail Likely to Start Before Janesville Road

Design plans are nearly done for recreational trail from Woods Road to Janesville Road, and construction will begin in spring; Janesville Road work won't begin in earnest however until mid-June.

The Racine Avenue recreational trail, which will close the loop around the downtown area, is 95 percent done with the design phase of planning. This means that once spring arrives, it's likely that crews will be at work to build the trail on the west side of Racine between Woods Road  and Janesville Road. Dave Simpson, Director of Public Works told the Public Works Committee Monday night that the construction should go smoothly, as much of the approximately one mile stretch will not involve residential property. He told Muskego Patch that the goal will be to get started in spring, with an end date occurring before the start of school in September. The trail will be a final link in a loop that connects Woods, Moorland and Janesville …

Janesville Road Should Wrap Up in Early December

Road project fell behind schedule but work should end in the next few weeks along with Tess Corners Drive, and city planners look to 2013 to begin work on a recreational trail along Racine Avenue

Tis the season for winter, which should mean road construction is over. Almost. The Public Works Committee met Monday night and heard from DPW Director Dave Simpson that Muskego's largest project is near the end, but won't complete its Phase I tasks until early December. Additional small pieces of work will also have to wait until spring, like concrete work at the intersection of Parkland Drive and Janesville. Other updates for the roads include: No further updates were needed for Pioneer Drive, as that project has been completed in late October.

City Could Save $70K With County Partnership on Rec Trail Project

Racine Avenue recreational trail would provide a final link from Woods Road south to where the trail begins near Janesville Road, and a collaboration between Waukesha County and the city could cut costs by $70,000

Anywhere a paved recreational trail has been placed in Muskego, response is immediate and ultimately popular. As the stretch of trail along Woods Road west to Racine Avenue has been completed, bikers are already making use of that trail, and are asking when the last piece of the trail puzzle going south can be completed. The answer is 2013, and if a proposed partnership works out between the city and Waukesha County, it will cost $70,000 less. The Public Works Committee met Monday night, and Director of Public Works Dave Simpson outlined the proposal, which would keep the design and survey work 'in house.' With Racine Avenue being a county road, the offer was made to utilize county staff to assist the city in developing a design plan and …
