Getting Ready For Spring

Compost Those Leaves This Spring!

 
Although it may seem like a long way off, Spring is just around the corner.  After the snow melts, many residents will be cleaning and raking their yards.  As a reminder, the City staff encourages you to drop off your spring yard clippings at the City's compost site on Maryland Avenue.  City crews will not be picking up leaves this Spring, as the leaf pick-up program only occurs in the Fall.
 
 
Please Remember To Schedule Your Brush Pick Up

 
City crews will be picking up brush on the second and forth Wednesdays of the month.  However, it is very important to call the Public Works Department at 763-2060 to be added to the pick-up list prior to the scheduled pick-up days.  In addition to the pick-up, residents can also bring brush to the City's compost site on Maryland Avenue.

Park Reservations
Reservations can be made by contacting the Department of Public Works at 763-2060.  Reservations are taken for Echo, Riverside and Wehmhoff Jucker Parks. Reservations are $35 for City Residents and $75 for Non-Residents. A refundable $100 Security Deposit is required.

Burlington Bypass Project Updates
 

2008 Traffic Impacts

State Highway 83 is currently under construction as part of the Highway 36 Burlington Bypass project and is closed to through traffic. Please be sure to use the posted detour route during this construction process. The Department of Transporation will allow access for local residents, however only emergency vehicles will be allowed to travel through the construction zone  

 
Access to Yahnke Road will be provided via Hidden Creek Lane while its current access to WIS 83 is removed. WIS 83 will be completed from Hidden Creek Lane to the north project limits by early summer of 2008. The remainder of WIS 83 will remain closed until fall of 2008. WIS 83 through traffic will be detoured using WIS 50, County P and Market Street in the city of Burlington.
 
Spring Valley Road will be closed to through traffic construction. Construction on Spring Valley Road and its overpass will continue through the summer of 2008 and be completed by this Fall. No detour will be posted for this roadway.
