Squirrels around town seem to be sending a mixed message with their contradictory behavior: Many nests (drays) high up in trees warns of a cold winter; but a less than vigorous harvesting of acorns and walnuts suggests a milder cold season. Time will soon tell which behavior pattern proved significant. – Photo by Tom Watson

Review of Schlieman Avenue project, assessments reviewed at public hearing
by Rev. Herbert RotundaThe Appleton City Council met on Wednesday, November 13, at 5:00 p.m. in council chambers for a state-required Assessment Hearing Presentation.
In addition to Mayor Justin Koepp, all four council members (Allan Oyen, Stacey Raddatz, Vanessa Lhotka-Meyer, and Dan Enke) were present. Also present was Administrator John Olinger and City Attorney Janice Nelson.
Apex Engineer Michael Weber began the hearing by reviewing why Schlieman Avenue was chosen for reconstruction. The wastewater and stormwater collection infrastructure consisted of vitrified clay pipe (VCP) dating from many years ago. The water distribution infrastructure consisted of cast iron pipe that is also many years old and had seen numerous failures (pipe breaks) over time. The Schlieman Avenue reconstruction is an infrastructure replacement project. Subscribe or Log In
