Plan Commission - Jun 22, 2026
The commission approved a future street mapping on the Gilson family property on Lost Dauphin Road so the county and state can lock in access points during Southern Bridge design — one of the city's last multi-family-zoned sites.
Common Council - Mar 17, 2026
The bridge's design details are locked in — stone piers, multicolor stain, black railings — and the county declined to name the bridge, which will be the Fox River bridge with the corridor named Generations Boulevard. The city's share dropped to about $15.6 million thanks to state and federal grants, but segments 17 and 18 face a $5.7 million gap TID money can't cover.
Common Council - Feb 18, 2026
Brown County's presentation on final aesthetics for the southern bridge and GV-15 retaining walls was postponed, and the council asked for an update on the bridge name selection. The look and name of the new crossing remain open questions.
Common Council - Jan 20, 2026
