Woodland Drive Update for This Week
Click on this link to view the latest project update for the Woodland Dr.
construction project:
http://www.egovlink.com/public_documents300/waunakee/published_documents/Public%20Works%20Documents/WoodlandProjectUpdate/No%2017_092911%20to%20100711_Complete.pdf
Additional information from the project engineer:
The paving operation is scheduled to resume next week. The contractor will start with the multiuse path from Cobblestone Lane to Tierney Drive, and then start the binder (lower layer) in the same area. During the binder paving operation travel between Cobblestone Lane and Tierney Drive will again be a challenge. Please allow extra time and expect delays.
The week of October 10, 2011 the contractor will begin the surface (upper layer) for the entire project. The contractor anticipates starting at Tierney Drive working south. When this is complete the contractor will pave from Tierney Drive working north, and at this time all traffic will enter and exit from the south with the exception of the Emerald Grove Lane residents. Please allow extra time and expect delays.
I will send out the anticipated daily schedule for the paving operation the night before and the changeable message boards will be used to assist with the traffic flow.

Waunakee Police Department Newletter September 2011
School's Back in Session
September 1st brings the start of the new school year. With that comes an increase in pedestrial and vehicle traffic in school zones. The time just before and after school can be dangerous for pedestrials and drivers. This is why the speed limit in school zones and at school crossings is 15 mph. Drivers are reminded to slow down and be attentive.
Many intersections immediately surrounding school zones have crossing guards to assist children in crossing the crossing the street; however, not all do. At intersections with crossing guards present, drivers must stop not less than 10 feet from the crossing guard and allow the crossing guard to fully exit the roadway before proceeding through. At intersections where a crossing guard is not present, children and adult pedestrians in crosswalks have the right-of-way. Drivers must stop and allow a pedestrian in a crosswalk to cross the street.
It is also important for parents who will be picking up children to be aware of no parking zones. No parking zones around the schools are marked with "no parking" signs and/or yellow curbing. These zones were created to assist in loading children on buses and allowing for greater visibility and safer traffic flow. Parking in "No Parking" zones can have dangerous consequences.
Waunakee officers increase patrols in school zone during the times children are present. Officers will be enforcing traffic laws in the school zones to ensure the safety of the children and others present.
