Madison, WI – Today, the Transportation Projects Commission (TPC) approved a study of the I-94 corridor that includes the section between HWY SS and the Jefferson County line. The proposed study received unanimous support from Commission members, which includes legislators from both parties, as well as Governor Evers.
“I was thrilled to hear the news of the approval for this study,” said Rep. Cindi Duchow (R-Delafield). “Anyone who drives in western Waukesha County knows how badly this expansion is needed. This is just the first step in approving the project, but with the unanimous support from the Commission and Secretary Boardman, I am optimistic about this getting done.”
The next steps for approval of the expansion project are outlined in the Department of Transportation’s release:
“Major Highway Project candidates undergo an extensive evaluation that considers a project’s potential to enhance economic development, relieve traffic congestion, improve safety and achieve community objectives while minimizing environmental impacts. To move forward to construction, candidate projects must first undergo an environmental study process.”
Representative Duchow authored a letter on behalf of Waukesha County legislators in support of the study. Copies of the letter were sent to Secretary Boardman and each voting member of the TPC.
