WAUKESHA - In preparation for
high speed rail, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation
is looking to upgrade 17 railroad crossings in Waukesha
County.
The crossings, which extend from Forest Grove Drive in
the village of Pewaukee to Reddelien Drive in Oconomowoc,
would be upgraded to accommodate the high speed rail line in
2010. None of the municipalities where the crossings are
located would be charged for the upgrades.
The project has been petitioned to the Wisconsin Railroad
Commissioner’s office, with the final decision set to come
after June 15.
