The City of Platteville is considering paying up to $160,000 to correct a car dealership’s driveway that was modified as part of a highway reconstruction project. Low-clearance trucks and trailers that attempt to enter Runde Chevrolet on Business Highway 151 are bottoming out after the adjoining highway was repaved and a city pedestrian and bicycle pathway was installed across the driveway. Platteville leaders have reservations over paying for corrections to the problem when they believe the property owner should have informed project planners of the business’s access needs in advance of construction, which started in August. The DOT does not consider private driveways valid project costs, so it will not pay to have Runde’s driveway corrected. Staff from Runde said they did not attend public information sessions to inform DOT engineers of their access needs prior at the project’s start, but they argue that the problem was unforeseeable.
