The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will conduct a public meeting June 24 to discuss proposed improvements to state Highway 47 (Airport Drive) between state Highway 29 and state Highway 22 (Green Bay Street) in Shawano.
The existing pavement on Airport Drive is deteriorated and has reached the end of its service life, according to the DOT. The improvement project will also address safety concerns at the Green Bay Street and Highway 47/County Road B intersections.
Construction is scheduled for 2016.
The meeting is scheduled from 6-8 p.m., in the Community Room of Shawano City Hall, 127 S. Sawyer St. A brief presentation is scheduled to begin at 6:15 p.m. The remainder of the meeting will be an open house.
The objective of the meeting is to discuss the purpose and the need for the Highway 47 project as well as obtain the public’s input on proposed improvements, construction schedule and traffic impacts.
Shawano City Hall is handicapped accessible. Citizens who are hearing-impaired and require an interpreter may request one by contacting Kristin McHugh at least three working days prior to the meeting via the Wisconsin Telecommunications Relay system (dialing 711).
