Residents voice complaints about local street work; CHS says permitting still pending
Summary
At the Dec. 10 Evansville council meeting residents criticized the Almeron Street project timeline and recent patchwork on Grove Street; CHS reported its air permit remains under review by the Wisconsin DNR and the regional EPA with no firm timeline for the facility project.
Residents used the public-comment period at the Evansville Common Council meeting Dec. 10 to press concerns about local street projects and ask for updates.
John Brandon described longstanding frustrations with the Almeron Street project timeline, asking the council to note missed expectations. Gary Roessler said recent patchwork on Grove Street was poorly completed and urged follow-up repairs. Jeff Stevens asked about the status of ATV/UTV signage and whether a ribbon-cutting ceremony has been scheduled.
In a staff presentation, Jim Graham, a CHS representative, reported that the permitting process for a CHS facility is ongoing. Graham said the company is still working with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the regional Environmental Protection Agency; the air permit is still in process and "there is no definitive timeline on the project." The minutes record no additional details or dates for the permit review.
No formal council action was recorded in response to the public comments during the meeting minutes; Pete’s Inn was noted as postponed at the applicant’s request, and City Attorney Mark Kopp will coordinate a new hearing date with the property’s attorney.
The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 14, 2024, when residents or staff could raise follow-ups on these items.
