You could have more room to stretch out at Forestville Dam County Park in the future.
The Door County Board of Supervisors will vote on Tuesday to add a .73 acre parcel to the park following a foreclosure of the property at 449 Mill Road in the Town of Forestville. The county acquired the property officially on July 15th. Since it is directly adjacent to the park, the Door County Facilities and Parks Department recommended it be added. Depending on the county's wishes, a storage building on the property could either be removed or kept on the site.
The county will also decide on whether to transfer $100,000 from the Capital Improvement Project Highway Reserve Account to make changes to the intersection of State Highway 42/57 and Gordon Road. The intersection has seen 22 accidents between 2015 and 2022, ten of which involved motorists making a left-hand turn from Gordon Road to head north on State Highway 57. The county has submitted a grant application to fund a permanent traffic feature to be installed to prevent left-hand turns. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has said that the data does not support a complete redesign of the intersection to add a feature such as a roundabout. The state is also planning on repaving that portion of State Highway 42/57 next year.
The Door County Board of Supervisors meets on August 23rd at 9 a.m.
Picture was taken prior to the drawdown that has welcomed a number of issues at the millpond as shared in the full county board agenda packet.
