Madison and Lake County officials are gathering public input on plans for a proposed Highway 34 bypass project around Madison.
An open house was held October 22nd at Madison City Hall, giving residents and property owners an opportunity to review preliminary plans, ask questions and speak with project representatives.
The bypass is a county road, jointly maintained by the county and the city. The two bodies have applied for federal funding for the road in the past, and are hopeful they will receive funds in the future.
Last month’s meeting was part of the early planning process.Final construction plans, and agency participation have not yet been determined.
The current road is a mixture of four, three, and two lanes. City Administrator Jameson Berreth says they’d like to make the lanes consistent.
Officials are also looking at changing the curve intersection.
The city and county plan to continue providing updates as the project develops. Property owners who could be affected by the proposed construction are being encouraged to stay involved in the process.
