City of Platteville officials are seeking grant funds to help with street and trail projects. Platteville Common Council members have discussed a list of proposed projects for which to apply for Bipartisan Infrastructure Law transportation grants. Public Works Director Howard Crofoot said the city proposes two mill and overlay projects covering roads in Industry Park for $824,000 and the Golden Heights neighborhood for $1.2 million. The city would be responsible for $165,000 in design costs, as well as 20% of construction costs, or just over $420,000. The city also would need to pay for storm sewer improvements on Pioneer Road and storm sewer improvements and a water main replacement on Pyrite Road, totaling $305,000. Crofoot says other grants are available from Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources that could address more of the project costs.
