What is Six (6) Miles west from exit 131 on I-39/I-90?
The answer is: The Village of Waunakee! In our effort to continue dispelling the rumor that Waunakee is way north of Madison in the middle of nowhere, here's a quick reminder that Downtown Waunakee is just 6 miles off of Interstate 39/90. As the crow flies, we are a mere 9 miles from the dome of the Wisconsin State Capitol building. In 10 short minutes you are able drive from Waunakee to the Dane County Regional Airport. In truth, we are "Just North of Madison". If you pass this sign you've gone too far...

DOT officials have offered additional alternative for the Village to consider.
- Alternative 1- Do nothing, put the project on hold indefinitely
- Alternative 2 - Current proposal; continue on as planned for 2014 project with resurfacing and a street enhancement project. The level of enhancements is still in discussions.
- Alternative 3 - A full roadway reconstruction to four lanes that would restrict parking during AM and PM hours. The DOT has proposed to completely reconstruct the roadway in 2017 or 2018, eliminating on-street parking during peak hours and eventually phasing out on-street parking altogether.
If you are unable to attend and would like to share your opinion, please email Geoff Vine at cbdtaskforce@gmail.com
