Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pewaukee public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
2026 Green Road Rehabilitation
The city is spending about $140,107.50 to microsurface Green Road, one of its major arterials, to seal micro cracks and extend pavement life before costly reconstruction is needed. A resident worried snowplows will scrape the new surface off, and the public works director promised to look into plowing and salting practices near the public works facility.
Amtrak Hiawatha West station grant support
The city sent a support letter for a federal grant for a new Amtrak station, but a future request for city money for parking, platform and security improvements is expected. Some residents in Alderperson Brown's district don't want tax dollars subsidizing a station they'd never use; others see it as a forward-looking investment with paid parking offsetting costs.
Shady Lane/Shady Nook special assessments
The road reconstruction done in 2024 is officially closed out, with property owners along those roads assessed for their share of the cost.
Marjean Lane road resurfacing and parking enforcement
A resident flagged that the new road work looks good but wants it packed down properly, and says drivers ignore the no-parking signs with no police enforcement — meaning gravel may keep flying and the road could degrade again.
Greenhill/Yench Road Reconstruction
Rebuilding three failing roads (PASER rating 2) with a new curb on Yench Road to save mature trees instead of regrading steep ditches. Residents objected, saying there's no drainage problem and questioning why they're paying for a curb they don't want. Construction should start mid-to-late June and last about two months.
