Beaverdam board to seek railroad proposal for Shaw Hill Bridge; plow order timing and road priorities discussed
Summary
The board agreed to prepare a proposal for the railroad regarding Shaw Hill Bridge, reviewed PASER road ratings for 2025, and discussed a new plow due in about a year with a 30‑day window to order a second unit (delivery in 2027).
The Town of Beaverdam board discussed several infrastructure items at its March 11 meeting, including a plan to prepare and send a proposal to the railroad about the Shaw Hill Bridge.
Board members reviewed PASER ratings provided by Delmore to prioritize roads for 2025. The board asked members to research roads and deliver a prioritized list to the chairman by March 25, 2025.
On equipment, the minutes state a new plow is currently in Sun Prairie and will take about a year to be built; if the town wants a second plow it must decide within 30 days, and a second unit would likely be delivered in 2027. The minutes note that waiting could raise cost because of emissions-related pricing changes. The board also discussed replacing the mower instead of renting annually. The minutes record that an old squad car was sold for $4,300.
Town attorney provided paperwork on an undeveloped road in the Schoenfeld’s Woodland plat (1943); the board acknowledged earlier minutes (May 2019) that recognized the roadway as public but noted development did not continue and scheduled further discussion in April.
