Meyer Avenue Reconstruction
August 29, 2025 Update
The City has awarded the project contract to S&L Underground, Inc. Due to constraints and delays in their other ongoing work, the contractor has elected to begin work for this project in the spring of 2026.
Madison Gas and Electric (MGE) continues work on adjustments to their gas main along Meyer Ave in preparation for the upcoming street reconstruction and plans to have their work completed in 2025.
A Start of Construction notification postcard will be mailed to residents in the spring of 2026 approximately two weeks before reconstruction work begins. A Start of Construction Fact and Details sheet will be posted to the project webpage at that time as well with helpful information for residents within the project limits. If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact the Project Manager, Reid Stiteley, listed in the Contacts section below.

Project Information
Project Overview
The purpose of this project is to reconstruct Meyer Avenue from Holly Avenue to Glenway Street. Proposed work includes replacement of the road pavement and base, replacement of the sanitary sewer main and laterals, replacement of the storm sewer and private storm connections, installation of new curb and gutter, and replacement of sidewalk and drive aprons as needed.
The City will replace the existing asphalt pavement (pavement assessable), gravel base, install new curb & gutter, driveways (driveways assessable), terrace walks and sidewalk will be replaced as needed. The new street layout proposal includes a 26-ft. wide street (face of curb to face of curb. There is 2-ft. of gutter on either side). As part of the green infrastructure study, the City is proposing to install pervious pavement along the north side of Meyer Avenue. The additional costs for this pavement are not assessable, and the assessment rates will remain based on a standard pavement.
