According to Craig Ausen, the City of Waukesha's head engineer of the Rolling Ridge repaving project, beginning by early to mid-July, a number of trees and other foliage will be removed from areas approximately 50 feet on either side of the culverts that will be built to drain the creekbed or "ditch" that runs along Rolling Ridge Drive from Devonshire CT down to University DR. The culverts "upstream" from Devonshire will not be replaced.
Besides the repaving of Rolling Ridge and the connecting courts, the City also will be removing the spillway or coffer dam located near Rolling Ridge and Woodridge DR. According to Ausen, the City plans to redo the landscaping and not build another structure like the one that needs replacing.
One final bit of information from Craig Ausen: The City plans to make significant modifications to the creekbed or ditch along Rolling Ridge within the next several years. The plan is to "reshape" the ditch and make it deeper to help with storm runoff. Most of the trees and bushes presently growing in or near the creek from Devonshire CT down to University DR will be removed. This is good and bad news. The good news is that many unhealthy and eroded trees will be removed, but many healthy trees are likely to be removed as well.
As we learn more about the repaving project and the upcoming "reshaping" project, we will let you know via this space.
