PUBLIC NOTICE: Updates to the LAPC Planning Area's Functional Classification

This notice initiates a minimum 15-day public comment period, ending at 5:00pm on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, for an update to the MPO's Wisconsin road functional classification.

Functional classification is the method by which roads and streets are categorized based on the levels of mobility and access they provide, which has a bearing on federal transportation funding eligibility. Periodically reviewing and updating the functional classification system, these recommended changes were developed through joint review by LAPC and WisDOT planning staff.

The Technical Advisory Committee will review this at its September 10, 2025, meeting, with the LAPC Policy Board taking final action on September 17, 2025.
