Alderwoman Appointed to Future of our Fire Department Committee
Mayor John Wirth has appointed Alderwoman Kathleen Schneider to fill the vacant aldermanic seat on the Future of the Fire Department Committee after the passing of Alderman Brian Schneider who had previously served on the Committee. The next meeting date for the Committee has yet to be determined.
Civic Campus Parking Lot Nears Completion
The contractor is diligently working to provide us with 53 new spaces prior to the Taste of Mequon. It has been a big week for the parking lot project at the Civic Campus. This week crews laid asphalt, started placing the pavers, installed lighting, and completed the majority of the sidewalk. The areas in which the curb looks high will be backfilled and landscaped to soften the appearance. The landscaper will be completing this portion of the project as soon as they are able to enter the lot. Going forward, the lot will be open for parking once the stripes are painted and the large landscaping features are installed, which is anticipated to be completed shortly after the Labor Day holiday.
Cedarburg Road Project Moves Forward Swiftly
The Cedarburg Road contractor is ahead of schedule and has placed the surface course (final layer) of asphalt this week. Striping, shouldering and other miscellaneous items still need to be completed prior to opening the roadway. The stripes and shoulders are necessary to ensure the safety of the traveling public. Currently, only those who live on or are doing business within the closure should be using the roadway and only in a limited capacity. It is anticipated that the remaining items will be completed over the next few weeks and the newly improved road will reopened to the public.
Long-Term Engineering Division Employee Retires
After 19 years of dedicated service to the City of Mequon, Administrative Assistant Barb Vento will be joining the ranks of the nation’s retirees. The Engineering Division of the Public Works Department and the entire City wishes Ms. Vento well in retirement and thanks her for years of service to the community.
