wisdot functional classification changes
Roadway role updates that affect city streets and transportation funding
Watch whether council pulls this off the consent agenda for questions, and whether staff explains any practical funding or design impacts for those two segments.
Council is set to sign off on WisDOT’s road-category changes: Madison Street (14th to STH 42) moves up, and Hawthorne Ave/ STH 310 (Madison to Columbus) moves down. These labels help decide what street projects can qualify for state and federal transportation money, and WisDOT then sends the update to the feds for final approval.
