US 51 corridor, Dane County central segment (Stoughton Road) - Public involvement

Meetings | Newsletters/others | News releases | Advisory committees | Email lists

Highway studies are a cooperative effort between the public, state and federal review agencies, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). WisDOT welcomes public comments and provides many opportunities for community involvement.

A 14-minute project video is available to community groups. The video gives an overview of existing problems and concerns along the Stoughton Road corridor. Project staff are also available to give presentations about the needs assessment findings.

To borrow a copy of the video or to arrange for a presentation, email stoughtonroad@klengineering.com or contact:

WisDOT also completed a survey to help citizens express their ideas about the study. Results of this survey are reported in the public involvement section (page 40) of the Stoughton Road Needs Assessment (NA).

Public information meetings (PIM) and workshops

Residents and motorists on the Stoughton Road corridor can share ideas and the results will be used as the basis for future design and construction along the corridor. Workshops allow attendees to give input about the study and work within groups to analyze the existing roadway. Public information meetings allow additional comment opportunities as well.
