Weekly News Blast: Clerk Stefanie Schlapa has been busy drafting components of the All-Hazard Mitigation Plan in cooperation with Portage County Emergency Management. At a time to be announced we hope to engage members of the Plan Commission and all interested residents in this important process. On Monday I attended a WI Towns Association meeting in the Town of Hull (Portage Co.) where staff queried officials about issues important for future legislation. Included among the many issues were utility solar, costs of emergency services, insurance, and harassment of town officials. On Tuesday UW-Extension presented an informational session on utility solar and the power (not) of local governments to control either placement or size. A pre-construction meeting for the bridges over Four Mile Creek on 95th and 100th Streets was held on Tuesday. At this writing, the start date for these projects is August 26th however it is possible they may begin sooner. Our public works crew continued with tree and debris removal on Griffith Avenue, mowing, and grading. It’s going to be a very warm weekend. Keep cool and hydrated, 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
