UPDATE: South Gateway Drive and Mendota Avenue reconstruction almost done

Curb, gutter, and sidewalk come to South Gateway in Middleton
  

Even the dead-end Charing Cross got a makeover.  And a sidewalk.

Some residents living on the west side of Gateway lobbied the City of Middleton to locate the sidewalk on the east side of the street.  To no avail.

Still much work yet to be done on South Gateway

According to the non-Bernie signs along the side of the street, the 'no parking' rule remains in effect until August 15.

And what are we lookin' at here?

South Gateway Street at University Avenue.

The reconstructed street will include curb and gutter, as well as a sidewalk on the north (this) side.  (That's the turn-off onto Charing Cross Lane at center-right.)

(Halfway between University and Lakewood Blvd.)  I use South Gateway a lot when I'm biking to access the Pheasant Branch trail -- and points north and west.  It's a bumpy right ride here.

As it is between Lakeview and Mendota Avenue.  

I'm looking forward to the improvements.   

(Prior to being annexed by the City of Middleton -- I don't know the exact date -- this street was located within the Town of Middleton.  Which is why there's no curb and gutter.]

On-street parking for Middleton Home Talent baseball games won't be available this summer.
