Weekly Blast!: Do you hold a Commercial Driver’s License? If so, the Town of Grant is seeking snowplow operators and might be interested in interviewing YOU! Hours are part-time, unpredictable, and totally weather dependent – CRAZY! But if your winters are spent here rather than Arizona or Florida give our Town Clerk a call at 715-213-7370 or the Town Hall at 715-423-9193 or email her at clerk@townofgrant-portage.wi.gov.   The failed culvert on 90th Street S between Quarry and County Road W was replaced this week. The culvert was provided by Wisconsin Flowgate and installed by Red Run Property Services. Our own crew was busy conducting maintenance on various roads by joint and crack-sealing, and patching holes. We’re never going to run out of work!   Are you an ATV or UTV enthusiast? A recent Department of Natural Resources report stated that Wisconsin leads the nation in fatalities. As of August 8th, there were 30. The three top causes were: failure to wear helmets, failure to wear seatbelts, and lack of completing a safety education course. If you love this recreational sport, please be careful out there. Take safety precautions to heart.   Have a good Labor Day weekend, Sharon

Snow Removal

If you live on a granite or gravel road you may be wondering why it hasn’t been plowed. The ground is so soft now that even simple passenger traffic is causing ruts to appear. And now the snow is acting like an insulating blanket, not allowing the roads to freeze back up. As a result, the plow trucks are having a difficult time traversing these roads without causing even more rutting. So, you will have to be patient. There is more snow predicted for the weekend. We hope that we will be able to get the snow off these roads when things are more compacted by regular traffic and weather conditions are a bit colder to firm things up.
