North Mendota Parkway
On September 16, 2009, the North Mendota Parkway Implementation Oversight Committee (NMPIOC) recommended three study areas for a future north-metro
parkway route:
-
An Eastern Corridor Area between County Highway M and County Highway Q;
-
A broader Western Corridor Area between the Town of Westport / Town of Springfield line and U.S. Highway 12, and;
-
A transition area to connect the Eastern Corridor and Western Corridor areas.
In addition, the NMPIOC recommended a North Mendota Natural Resource Area boundary to protect
environmental, water, scenic and recreational resources in the North Mendota area.
On May 6, 2010, the Dane County Board of Supervisors adopted
the recommendations of the NMPIOC. The North Mendota Natural Resource Area boundaries are incorporated into the 2012-2017 Dane County Parks and Open Space Plan. To date, capital funds to
construct the proposed roadway have not been identified.
