The reconstruction of Monona Drive entailed complete renovation of 1 mile of existing urban roadway and included new concrete roadway pavement, sidewalks, raised medians, colored crosswalks, street lighting, utility upgrades, designated on-street bike lanes, site furnishings, limestone veneer walls and landscape plantings to create a cohesive streetscape design that tied into the two earlier phases of roadway reconstruction.
A primary goal for the project, beyond upgrading the aging infrastructure, was to increase pedestrian and vehicular safety while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the corridor. A unique aspect of this final phase of the Monona Drive reconstruction was re-facing an existing screen wall at an oil disposal site on the Monona Golf Course with limestone veneer to match the other new limestone veneer walls that were also designed as part of the project to designate roadway names. Saiki Design worked to develop the design details for re-facing this wall.
