Weekly News Blast: The Plan Commission met this week and continued their work on a draft Sign Ordinance. Once completed it will be a stand-alone document rather than imbedded in the Zoning Ordinance. Thanks are extended to Plan Commissioner Tom Reitter and Secretary Kathy Lee who have spent a lot of time reconfiguring the text. Once completed the Plan Commissioners think it will be easy to read and use for anyone that desires a permanent or temporary sign(s) in the Town. The big news this week was all the construction work on the 95th and 100th Street bridges. Those closest heard the pile driving. Today the bridge pours occurred on both sites (pics above and below). It’s great to see the unimpeded flow of the Four Mile Creek from 110th (our 2023 project) to 95th now. What a difference! If I were a trout I think I’d be happy. Earth Inc. brought in loads of smaller gravel to top dress Buena Vista Road (CTH F/120th – 130th) this week. Thanks to Dan DeBour of Earth and our grader operator Steve Dobeck who helped to finish out this project. American Asphalt will begin grinding Pine Street (CTH U/80th – 90th) either Monday or Tuesday next week. That’s our last big project for the year. Patching will continue as long as the weather remains warm, and material is still available. Summer is still with us.

Weekly News Blast

The Plan Commission met this week to consider a requested rezone, review required changes to our Uniform Dwelling Code ordinance and receive updates on some auto/salvage businesses operating in the Town that require Conditional Use Permits (CUPs). The Commission will meet again on September 25 to finalize the draft Sign ordinance and (hopefully) review a couple CUPs.

The bridge projects on 95th and 100th Streets over Four Mile Creek are moving swiftly (just like the now unrestricted waterways)! The culvert on 100th was removed and the initial riprap was installed (see photo). A construction meeting was held on Thursday to review the progress of the project to date and to look at the schedule for the upcoming weeks. If you live on either 95th or 100th between CTH FF and Lake Road please be assured that you will NOT have to drive onto Lake Road to receive your mail. Other than two residences the Wisconsin Rapids Post Office has agreed to deliver the mail as per usual.

The Public Works folks have out been grading and patching. But there a lot more to do before the construction season winds down.

You should have received the Summer newsletter by now. It’s funny – no matter how many times I read the draft I didn’t see my error re: Buena Vista Road. It should have read Buena Vista Road (CTH F – 130th), not 110th. Sorry about that!

Better bundle up the next few mornings – chance of FROST – what??? Enjoy the weekend, Sharon
