Hortonville resident asks board to speed cleanup of subdivision gravel, fix unfinished curb
Summary
A resident told trustees that gravel and thistle seed debris from a nearby subdivision were blowing into yards, requested more frequent street sweeping, asked that a 3-by-4-foot asphalt patch be replaced before winter and asked when the subdivisions curb and binder would be installed.
At the Sept. 18 Village of Hortonville board meeting, resident Craig Dreier of 52 Parkview Lane urged the village to increase street sweeping and finish an unfinished asphalt patch and curb in a nearby subdivision before winter.
Dreier said he regularly collects thistle seeds and other debris that wash into his yard and suspects truck traffic has kicked material into lawns. "I picked up about 8 of these," he said, and asked who would pay for the yard waste bags when mower operations spread the seeds. Dreier told trustees he had seen a sweeper in the neighborhood three to four weeks earlier but believed it had not come through recently enough to prevent buildup.
He asked the board to replace a small 3-by-4-foot section of asphalt that has been missing for two to three months and to repair a curb with a long crack that he had photographed and shared with village staff. Dreier also asked for a timeline for when the subdivision developer is contractually required to install curb and the first binder course of asphalt, noting that weather could limit paving after mid-November.
No formal action was recorded on the item at the meeting; Dreiers concerns were placed on the record during the citizen comment portion of the agenda for staff follow-up.
