Members of Caledonia's Legislative and Licensing Committee, Trustees Kevin Wanggaard and Tom Weatherston, worked with Village Administrator Tom Lebak this afternoon to hash out the language for a resolution that will move 794 another step closer to realization in Racine County.
The resolution will express Caledonia's support for the extension of 794 into Racine County and ask the Racine County Board to pass a resolution to include Racine in a study group being overseen by the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission.
Currently, Milwaukee is studying the extension of 794 to a southern point of Hwy 100. From the draft minutes of the Village Board on May 3: Trustee Weatherston updated the board that Patricia Jursik, Milwaukee County Supervisor and Chair of the 794 Committee, came to the last Caledonia 794 extension committee meeting. One of the discussions at the 794 meeting was a concern with bottlenecking on Hwy 100. The village needs to be proactive and get a plan in place to address the additional traffic the extension will bring. This is what the committee is focusing on.
Wanggaard and Weatherston (who also sit on Caledonia's 794 Committee) also discussed extending the road into Racine County to at least 6 Mile Road, and possibly further if the City of Racine and Mt. Pleasant are supportive. A study committee would likely focus on finding the most feasible route to bring the highway into Racine.
The resolution is expected to be presented to the full Village Board at their first meeting in June.

CU-any chance you could update us on where this resolution stands and why it appears the county hasnt acted on this?
anon - actually, I just spoke with someone about that the other day. The hold up is in Caledonia - the resolution hasn't even been finished, then it needs to go to the Village board before the county. Don't know if it's a problem with the committee or village staff - could be someone's on vacation?
CU-Thanks for the update-JW
