Summary

Members recommended dropping and resubmitting the CTH-VV safety project (sunset 2028), adjusted LRIP application strategy for CTH-S segments, noted a changed detour for STH-22 in Gillett, and urged the Town to decide on placement of a historical marker to keep Smyth Road bridge design on schedule.

The committee received an update March 5 on several road projects and funding applications.

Members recommended dropping the CTH-VV Safety Improvement Program and resubmitting it to extend its sunset date (currently 2028), saying necessary improvements do not make sense now given pavement condition. The committee also discussed LRIP application strategy: the segment CTH-S from CTH-J to Monette will likely be denied due to a high crash rate, so the county plans to apply for the segment north of Monette to CTH SS instead. The STH-22 detour in Gillett was revised because of road limits on CTH-R in Shawano County; the new detour runs along WIS 117, WIS 29, WIS 160 and WIS 32. Design continues on the Smyth Road bridge but the town needs to determine placement of a historical marker to keep the project on schedule.

No formal votes were recorded on these planning items during the meeting; the updates focused on application strategy and scheduling.
