City of Superior - Hammond Ave Reconstruction

This webpage was designed to provide a virtual overview of information presented at the Public Meeting on June 13, 2023.

The in-person meeting was scheduled for 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm at the Superior Public Library, 1530 Tower Ave., Superior, WI 54880. The event was an Open House format and the public was invited to stop in as their time allows.

Residents and stakeholders from the community were encouraged to attend this meeting (in person or virtually) to provide input in the planning process.

SEEKING PUBLIC FEEDBACK AT THE JUNE 2023 OPEN HOUSE

At the June 13th Open House, the City was seeking public input on the overall layout of the streetscape design, including medians, parking, pedestrian crossings, sidewalks, and trail. Participants were asked to review the proposed roadway design and project layout plans (linked below), and to provide feedback through in person methods or an online survey.

PROPOSED ROADWAY DESIGN ALIGNING WITH PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The proposed roadway design achieves the project’s primary objectives of:

• Reconstructing Hammond Avenue with new pavement, curb, and gutter

• Creating a liveable corridor with placemaking and multimodal transportation treatments (automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian) and ADA compliant ramps

• Mitigating storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water utility conflicts before they become an issue, and

• Improving drainage and storm sewer.

INCORPORATION OF PUBLIC FEEDBACK INTO ROADWAY DESIGN

We have incorporated public feedback into the design of the roadway reconstruction, with the typical street section having:

• a center median

• on-street parking on both sides

• sidewalk

• off-street trail

• improved pedestrian crossings, and

• preserving boulevard trees where possible.
