Lacy Road: Fitchrona to Seminole Highway

The City of Fitchburg is planning improvements to Lacy Road, from Fitchrona Rd to the Seminole Highway. Project concepts include:
  • Conversion of the rural roadway to an urban roadway with curb and gutter and storm sewer. The roadway concept includes 1 vehicle lane and 1 bicycle lane in each direction, 1 multiuse path on the north side, with a median in some locations.
  • Streetlight improvements
  • Stormwater improvements
  • Intersection control changes at Seminole Hwy & Lacy Rd
West Lacy Reconstruction

The project is currently in the design phase. Construction is anticipated in 2022. A virtual public meeting was held on February 17, 2021 from 5:30-7:00 PM to share additional detail on project concepts and to obtain feedback.  A second public meeting was held on August 31, 2021 at 5:30 PM to share an updated design of the corridor and present proposed intersection control options for the intersection of Lacy Rd & Seminole Hwy. Interested participants can watch via FACTv, join the virtual meeting via the meeting link - https://bit.ly/3maEAC4, or attend in person at the Council Chambers at 5520 Lacy Road. Please complete the project survey by September 9th to give feedback to the design team. Feedback will be incorporated into the design and presented to Council along with the Transportation Project Plan in October.
