Notice to Property Owners W. College Avenue Reconstruction Project 2010
From W. Loomis Road to S. 51st Street


Milwaukee County has announced the reconstruction of W. College Avenue from W. Loomis Road to S.51st Street with work to commence in late spring. The Village of Greendale has worked with Milwaukee County in an effort to provide a quality, long lasting improvement to this vital corridor. Some enhancements to this project include bicycle lanes, curbing in select areas, an extended stacking lane for vehicles entering the College Park School lot and two storm water detention ponds.

This project is likely to cause traffic pattern changes and require project area residents to seek alternative routes for much of the summer. Residents in the Riverdale/Radburn area will need to use the Loomis Road Entrance for all ingress/egress during the western construction portion of the project and when the Riverdale Lane/W. College Avenue intersection is closed.

Residents in the “R” section streets that intersect Root River Drive should always have at least two ways out of the subdivision depending on where active construction is occurring. Those residents will always have the Russell Drive to S.51st Street route in and out of the subdivision and are encouraged to use it as such. Village services, emergency vehicle access and delivery access will always be maintained. Your trash and recycling collection schedule will NOT change.

This project is largely funded by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act with additional funding from the Village of Greendale.
