C. Roadway Conditions:
The County does not track pavement conditions on State or private roadways because they are
not a local maintenance responsibility. However, using the PASER method, staff has determined
the pavement to be within above average thresholds on U.S. Highway 27 and I-4. Pinetree Trail,
CR 54 and Ernie Caldwell Blvd. are relatively new roads. Lake Wilson Road is under County
maintenance and rated “Excellent” condition according to the Pavement Surface Evaluation and
Rating (PASER) method established by the Transportation Information Center at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison.
D. Planned Improvements:
Many of the necessary external roadway improvements needed to support this project have been
constructed. Through development of the first phase of Oakmont, Pine Tree Trail was
constructed, which connects Ernie Caldwell Boulevard to Ronald Reagan Parkway (CR54).
Ernie Caldwell Boulevard will eventually connect to U.S. Highway 17/92. However, it is not in
the Current Community Investment Program. The following table lists the projects currently
funded in the CIP and the Transportation Planning Organization’s (TPO) current work program.

Project Description
Construct a new 2 lane road from Sand Mine Road (at Highlands
Reserve Subdivision near Berry Town Center) to Deen Still Road
(approx. 4.1 miles). New roadway is intended to separate local
residential traffic from regional (truck) thru-traffic to help maintain
an acceptable level of service on US27. As an alternate route for
local traffic, new roadway will enhance safety. Cross connections to
the east side of US27 already exist at several adjoining subdivisions.
Linear park concept of aesthetic enhancements roundabouts,
sidewalks, recreational path, stamped concrete, ornamental lighting,
and irrigated landscaping) included in design. Posted speed to be 30
MPH on mainline and lowered to 20 MPH at medians and 15 MPH
at traffic circles (roundabouts).
