Weekly News Blast: The plows were out on the hard-surfaced roads early this morning. Most of the unsurfaced roads were left unplowed to allow them to freeze more thoroughly and to pack the snow as vehicles drive over them. In this way when there is more snow, we reduce the likelihood of peeling off some of the road base as we plow. So, patience please. One thing I did notice today was that a few folks have snow blown or plowed snow from their driveway onto the town roads. Please know that this is a violation of a Wisconsin Statute and can carry a fine of up to $50 per occurrence. That’s because snow left perpendicular to the road can harden, creating an obstruction that may cause injury to persons, vehicles, and the Town’s snow removal equipment. So, don’t do that please! The Plan Commission met this week. Revisions to the Zoning Ordinance and the new Sign Ordinance were completed. I would like to express my thanks to Kathy Lee, Secretary and Commissioners Jodi Eberhardt, Jeanne Eggebrecht, Diana Luecht, and Tom Reitter. There will be a public hearing on January 22nd at 6:30 pm for the revised Zoning Ordinance. Please mark your calendars. Have a safe, happy, and healthy holiday, Sharon

Culvert Improvements on County Trunk Highway WW over Fourmile Creek

The Portage County Highway Department, in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Transporation (WisDOT), are in the process of developing plans to improve the existing culvert on County Trunk Highway WW over Fourmile Creek. A project location Map is attached for your reference.

As part of the project development process, they are gathering input on the proposed project and construction activities. The attached project information package provides details on the existing culvert, proposed improvements, traffic impacts, and project schedule. 

Please review and submit any questions, comments, or concerns that may assist with the development of this project by January 5th, 2024. If you have questions of concerns that may require an in-depth conversation, please contact Vincent DiFrances at 262-683-8525 or vinced@jt-engineering.com.

 

Notes from Supervisor Provost:

The boxed area in the Aerial of CTH WW Bridge shows the part of the road that will be replaced (W330’ and E250’).

2024 design and 2025 build. Everything is preliminary at this point so changes can be expected.

Estimated 3 month road closure

Due to trout stream required time-out periods, this would have to start in June of 2025.

Water quality will be protected by standard BMP’s used for bridge replacements

DATCP will also be involved in the review due to being in the jurisdiction of the Portage County Drainage District
