Police report: 18 calls this period; trustees press for railroad markings and flashing lights during detours
Summary
Police Chief Jeremy Bonikowske reported 18 local calls for service; trustees discussed repainting railroad markings on Wisconsin St., concerns about detour routing during interstate incidents, and President Darnell requested flashing warning lights at Highway 12/16 and County Highway HH.
Police Chief Jeremy Bonikowske reported a total of 18 police calls for service during the reporting period and said the Juneau County Sheriff’s Office handled 32 calls while the Wisconsin State Patrol assisted on an interstate incident. Chief Bonikowske said he is coordinating with the Juneau County Highway Department to repaint railroad crossing markings on Wisconsin Street, which have never been painted.
Chief Bonikowske also said he is in discussions with Derrik from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation about traffic rerouting during interstate incidents and the impact of detour routes that cross railroad tracks. President Bob Darnell asked that flashing warning lights be installed at the intersection of Highway 12/16 and County Highway HH when traffic is temporarily rerouted through that intersection to improve safety; the request was recorded but no timeline or funding source for lights was specified.
