Perry St Connection

The City of Madison is seeking a qualified consultant to undertake planning, feasibility analysis, and engineering work for the Perry Street connection project. This initiative aims to improve transportation infrastructure by connecting South Madison neighborhoods with essential services and employment opportunities, addressing longstanding mobility challenges. The project involves evaluating options to extend Perry Street across or beneath the Beltline Highway, which was built nearly 70 years ago, to facilitate better access for vehicles, buses, pedestrians, and cyclists to the commercial areas south of the highway. The contract, valued between $500,000 and $2 million, is part of a broader effort to enhance regional connectivity and support community development. Interested firms are invited to respond by November 18, 2024, with the solicitation managed by the City of Madison’s Engineering Department under the NAICS code 541330. The project is overseen by Brian Pittelli, who can be contacted via email or phone for further details. This effort underscores the city’s commitment to improving transportation infrastructure and fostering equitable access across neighborhoods, ensuring that the connection over or under the Beltline Highway effectively serves the diverse needs of the community.
