USH 45 - UNION GROVE KL Engineering completed a two-lane urban design for a 0.8-mile section of USH 45 in the Village of Union Grove and a two-lane rural resurface overlay design for a 1.7-mile section of USH 45 between CTH C and CTH A in Racine County. Project challenges included close coordination with WisDOT, Village of Union Grove officials and local residents to meet an aggressive project schedule. Two public information meetings and several local business meetings were held to discuss access and safety issues. Additional project challenges included providing enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities while providing parking throughout the entire corridor. KL Engineering coordinated with WisDOT Southeast Region and the Village to add bicycle lanes to one mile of Main Street through downtown Union Grove without significantly impacting the adjacent residents and businesses along the corridor. It was determined that a typical section that could incorporate vehicle traffic lanes, a bicycle lane, a parking lane, terrace and a sidewalk within the existing right-of-way corridor. KL Engineering completed all aspects of the project including plan development, drainage and storm sewer design, environmental documentation, public involvement, traffic signal and lighting modifications, and PS&E submittal. Project was constructed in 2008 and the estimated cost was $2.4 million.
