Highway commissioner to discuss County K
The second in a series of ad hoc committee meetings about a future road project in Dayton is set for Tuesday, Dec. 20.
The meeting, which will begin at 5 p.m. at Dayton Town Hall, will include ideas about the future design of County Trunk K, from Spencer Lake Road north to the intersection at State Highway 22.
County Highway Commissioner Dean Steingraber will attend the meeting and will then take those ideas and attach dollar figures to them.
That process is expected to take place over the next several months.
The advisory ad hoc committee was appointed by Chris Klein, Dayton's town chairman.
About 20 people attended the committee's first meeting, which was held on Dec. 6.
Dayton residents Jane Haasch and Bob Van Epps, who are heading the committee, explained why it was established.
"We want to capitalize on the economic value of what we have here," Haasch said, noting that the Red Mill and Chain O' Lakes are important to area residents.
Maintaining Dayton's rural character and preserving land were among the top priorities during the town's Smart Growth planning process, she said.
Van Epps said the town wants to approach the Waupaca County Highway Department with options before design work begins.
During the Dec. 6 meeting, those in attendance had the opportunity to consider the pros and cons of different options for County Trunk K, including whether there could be a different alignment for the road.
When the committee meets on Dec. 20, residents will be able to ask Steingraber questions about the future road project.
The flip charts and maps will be up on the walls until the Dec. 20 meeting.
Those who want to add their comments have several opportunities to do so.
The town hall will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16, and Saturday, Dec. 17, for the paying of taxes.
It will also be open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19. In addition, people may add comments before and after the Dec. 19 town board meeting, which begins at 7 p.m.
Town Supervisor Bruce Golding said 2014 had been the proposed start date for work on K. "Eventually, something's going to happen," he said, "so now is the time to plan."
