The rules may not allow an exception under this subdivision to be applied unless the secretary of transportation, or a designee of the secretary who has knowledge of the purpose and value of bicycle and pedestrian accommodations, reviews the applicability of the exception under this subdivision to the particular project at issue.
84.01(35)(c)3.
3. Establishing bikeways or pedestrian ways would have excessive negative impacts in a constrained environment.

Highway projects. 84.013(1)(a)
(a) "Major highway project" means a project, except a project providing an approach to a bridge over a river that forms a boundary of the state, a high-cost state highway bridge project under
s. 84.017, or a southeast Wisconsin freeway megaproject under
s. 84.0145, that satisfies any of the following:
84.013(1)(a)1m.
1m. The project has a total cost of more than $30,000,000, subject to adjustment under
sub. (2m), and involves any of the following:
84.013(1)(a)1m.b.
b. Reconstructing or reconditioning an existing highway by either relocating 2.5 miles or more of the existing highway or adding one or more lanes 5 miles or more in length to the existing highway.
84.013(1)(a)1m.c.
c. Improving to freeway standards 10 miles or more of an existing divided highway having 2 or more lanes in either direction.
84.013(1)(a)2m.
2m. The project has a total cost of more than $75,000,000, subject to adjustment under
sub. (2m), and is not described in
subd. 1m.
84.013(1)(b)
(b) "Reconditioning" means work in addition to resurfacing. "Minor reconditioning" includes pavement widening and shoulder paving. "Major reconditioning" includes improvement of an isolated grade, curve, intersection or sight distance problem to improve safety. Major reconditioning projects may require additional property acquisition.
84.013(1)(c)
(c) "Reconstruction" means total rebuilding of an existing highway to improve maintainability, safety, geometrics and traffic service. It is accomplished basically on existing alignment, and major elements may include flattening of hills and grades, improvement of curves, widening of the roadbed, and elimination or shielding of roadside obstacles. Normally reconstruction will require additional property acquisition.
84.013(1)(d)
(d) "Resurfacing" means placing a new surface on an existing highway to provide a better all-weather surface and a better riding surface, and to extend or renew the pavement life. It generally involves no improvement in capacity or geometrics. Resurfacing may include some elimination or shielding of roadside obstacles, culvert replacements, signals, marking, signing and intersection improvements. Usually no additional property acquisition is required; except possible minor acquisition for drainage and intersection improvements.

sub. (1) (a) 1m. and
2m., which amount shall become effective on October 1 of that year. The department may not adjust the amounts specified in
