Sturgeon Bay is slated to start improving roadways in the city beginning next week. Sturgeon Bay City Engineer Chad Shefchik says 1.69 miles of streets have been budgeted, while the ideal targeted amount is usually between two and one-half to two and three-quarter miles of roadwork. Initial projects include milling and paving work on North 18th Avenue and eventually Michigan Street down to 12th Avenue.

This year, other streets receiving attention include North Geneva Avenue, West Walnut Drive, and West Redwood Street. Rhode Island Street and North 14th Avenue from Egg Harbor Road to Bluebird Street will be getting new sidewalks. The total expanse for the proposed projects is just over $890,000.

Shefchek adds that Martel Concrete and Northeast Asphalt are contracted for all the road construction that is expected to be completed by the end of summer in the city.
