In a relatively short Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting Tuesday night, the city council passed three-second readings and consideration for a Right-of-Way Plat and Relocation Order for the South Duluth Avenue project.
Mayor David Ward says South Duluth Avenue will be rebuilt entirely from Walgreens' corner to the Door County Justice Center. He notes that curb and gutter construction with sidewalks will connect the Government Center to the rest of the commercial area.
The council approved a recreation of an ordinance to address vendors, seasonal merchants, and food trucks.
The second reading of an ordinance concerned salaries and compensation for city elected officials. Starting after the first reorganizational meeting in April, salaries for alderpersons will be $750 per month and $1350 for the mayor.
A housing project on 54 East Maple Street planned by Sawyer Park Flats for a four-story, 54-unit apartment building is moving forward after the council approved the rezoning of the west waterfront side property from Central Business (C-2) to a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
During his Mayor Report, Ward added that the Sturgeon Bay Ice Rink across from Sunrise School opens Wednesday for the first time this season and will stay open as long as the weather cooperates.
