Commission appoints road-viewing committee to consider abandoning small alley in Willsau
Summary
Following a petition signed by 10–12 landowners, the commission appointed a road-viewing committee (a commissioner and surveyor George Bournemouth) to review abandonment of an alley off Darling Street and East Park in Willsau; commissioners approved the committee by voice vote.
The commission appointed a road-viewing committee to investigate a petition to abandon a short alley between Blocks 16 and 17 in Willsau.
Staff said the petition met form requirements and that 10–12 landowners had signed. The committee to be appointed will include one commissioner and a surveyor (the county has traditionally used George Bournemouth). A public commenter described the alley as a "road to nowhere" with a 15–20 foot drop at the end and said there appeared to be no detriment to emergency services.
Commissioner Waltz moved to appoint the viewing committee with a surveyor; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff outlined next steps: the appointed commissioner and a surveyor will inspect the site and report back based on the county's road-viewing procedures.
No formal abandonment decision was made today; the committee inspection is the next procedural step.
