Project Overview
The Badger Rusk Shared-Use Path project will construct an approximately 0.4-mile-long, shared-use path that will connect into existing paths on W. Badger Rd and N. Rusk Ave. The proposed grade separated shared-use path will be 10-ft wide and follow along the north side of W. Badger Rd (from existing pedestrian overpass bridge to N. Rusk Ave) and along the west side of N. Rusk Ave (from W. Badger Rd to Nygard St). Both streets will be partially reconstructed to fit the path within existing City Right-of-Way. N. Rusk Ave will be a rural to urban reconstruction and will include new sidewalk along the east side of the street. W. Badger Rd will be partially reconstructed to realign the curb along the north side of the street to accommodate the new shared-use path. All existing car travel lane configurations will remain, but shifted slightly to accommodate the off-street path and existing on-street bike lanes will be removed. Bike and pedestrian crossing improvements will be included throughout the project limits, and additional path lighting will also be included along the new path. Underground City utilities will be replaced as needed to accommodate the new path construction.
