USH 12 / STH 25 / STH 29 / Crescent Street Reconstruction

This project included 1.4 miles total reconstruction, including a 48-foot concrete urban section, full storm sewer system, and stabilizing a steep lake bank. It also incorporates a shared bikeway and sidewalk integrated with existing traffic patterns along Lake Menomin on the north side of Crescent Street. The bicycle and pedestrian portion was designed in accordance with the bike system adopted by the City as part of its Comprehensive Plan.

The project, which incorporates the use of red brick pavers, was integrated with the renovation of the historic downtown area and the 2nd Street Historic Mall. Design considerations included safety, ease of travel, accessibility both for pedestrian users and automobile users, aesthetic character of the corridor, and compatibility with existing and proposed improvements. Extensive landscape planting was incorporated into the project to help stabilize the lake bank, replace existing plant material lost during construction, and frame views of Lake Menomin from Crescent Street.

The project, which was DOT funded, required close coordination between DOT officials, City of Menomonie officials, University of Wisconsin officials and downtown business people.
