Project Purpose • Provide important transportation link • Middleton Transport people and products safely and efficiently • Support future traffic demand • Minimize impacts to environment Madison Verona

Project Needs • Provide a safe and functional corridor for all users, including • Motor vehicles • Bicycles • Pedestrians • Address existing roadway deficiencies including • Substandard sight distances • Poor pavement condition

Project Needs • Accommodate travel demand from planned future growth and urban development • Provide well designed intersections that minimize impacts • Integrate the facility into its surroundings with aesthetic design

Environmental Review • Design Constraints • Cemetery • Original German Lutheran Cemetery • Public Recreational Land (Section 4(f) property) • Pleasant View Golf Course • Historical resources • German Lutheran Church • Existing land use • Agricultural Research Station • Residences • Commercial • Utilities

Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) • Examination of different intersection types/control • Accommodation of future traffic volumes and needs • Traffic Signal • Provides signal control for pedestrian crossings • Less right of way is needed • Offers flexibility with timing adjustments • Roundabout • Slower speeds - Safety • Better traffic operations • Less severe crashes

Evaluation Factors • Safety • Level of Service (LOS) • Indicates intersection ability to handle travel demand • LOS A = excellent operation conditions • LOS F = extremely congested conditions • Pedestrians & Bicycles • Right of way • Access • Construction Cost • Environmental Impacts • Operation & Maintenance Cost
