The Sturgeon Bay Common Council entered into an agreement with the state of Wisconsin’s Department of Transportation during Tuesday’s meeting regarding intersection improvements on State Highway 42/57. The proposed intersection improvements will be implemented at the Ashland Avenue, Neenah Avenue, and Clay Banks Road intersections. City Engineer Chad Shefchik says the agreement does not guarantee the work will be completed as scheduled in 2023. The city is still able to back out but it cannot walk away without bearing the costs of any planning work done by the state.

Most of the discussion in Tuesday’s meeting centered on the Neenah Avenue intersection.
