Discussion of Ski Hi road and exits off of bypass.
Entrances and exits off of the by-pass were discussed as it pertained to traffic patterns, and flow. Terrain and ease of use were also discussed. A request was made that the design team re-evaluate the options for getting on and off of Highway 12. The group will obtain resolutions from the represented municipalities requesting: Prior to finalization of the design plan the stakeholders group requests DOT to revisit all possible exit and access points from Ski Hi Road to the Baraboo River, and to look for alternate and safer exits to handle traffic to and from Devils Lake and Baraboo exits and entrances. It will also be requested that an opportunity be afforded to meet with the design team prior to final design and present information on options and constraints; and receive additional input from the stakeholder group. The resolution will cite statistics on traffic flow and safety history. The City and the County jointly lead the effort when design team is reinitiated.
