· Krueger Park/Columbia Boulevard Greenway Trail Connection:  Work will start this fall on the next Greenway trail segment adjacent to Columbia Blvd. from Krueger Park to Bluemound Rd.

 

· Heritage Christian School is now vacant.  They are trying to sell the building.

· Traffic Calming PolicyIf you would like to slow down traffic in your neighborhood the newly adopted Traffic Calming Policy can help.  Please link to the policy to find out more about the education and enforcement components of this initiative or call me if you have questions and want to know more.  Sample neighborhood newsletter.

· WisDOT proposes changes to Bluemound Road east of Moorland Rd.  Some of the proposed changes include turning some streets into cul-de-sacs and eliminating all left westbound turns except at Sunnyslope and Elm Grove Roads.  Your district 7 Alderpersons felt many residents may object to these changes.  Because now is the time to voice your opinion vs. later (when the construction crews arrive), we scheduled a Neighborhood Information Meeting with the WisDOT project engineers at City Hall in November ‘08.  With neighborhood help we were able to blanket the affected area with fliers. A packed city hall was able to effectively communicate their concerns and objections to the proposed changes.  Our City Engineer and Mayor shared your concerns and in response to our urging advocated on the citizens behalf.  At the follow-up DOT public information meeting in April we discovered that citizen input did matter because the plans were changed in response to your concerns. 

· Water Main Extension Policy FAQ’s: If you are currently on well water you will be affected by this policy.  The city council adopted a policy in 2002 for a long range plan to connect all properties to Municipal Water.  Assessments for a water main hook up can be quite costly. If your home is still on a private well please go to this FAQ link so you are well informed and have plenty of time to prepare.  Please note the water main extension 5 year plan is printed annually in the Fall City newsletter that is mailed to your home.  Here is a link to the 5-year plan.

· 5-Year Repaving Schedule:  Click here to see if your street is scheduled for repaving in the next 5 years.

· Kinsey Park Pond will continue to be maintained as a neighborhood Ice Rink each winter as conditions allow.  I hope it was enjoyed
