IMPORTANT UPDATE

VILAS COUNTY HIGHWAY COMMITTEE MEETING

TO ADDRESS RUSTIC ROAD

PLACE: Highway Department Conference Rm

2104 N. Railroad St. (Hwy 45N), Eagle River, Wisconsin 54521

DATE: Tuesday, October 18, 2022

TIME: 9:00 A.M.

The Vilas County Highway Committee is meeting at 9:00 am on October 18, 2022. One of the agenda items for this meeting is to receive an update on the status of the Rustic Road 60. As reported in previous updates, the Joint Committee reached agreement on substantially all substantive issues relating to vegetation management, repair and improvement of Rustic Road 60 with a couple of minor exceptions. A draft Rustic Road 60 Highway Management Plan (the “Plan”) was drafted by the representatives of Save our Rustic Road on the Joint Committee and is believed to reflect the substantive agreements reached with County Representatives on the Joint Committee who were present at the meetings of the Joint Committee, with only minor exceptions on a couple of open issues. A draft of the Plan was submitted to the Highway Commissioner (Troy Schalinske) for his review and comments roughly one month ago. No comments or input was received. Based on a discussion with Troy Schalinske, it is believed that the Highway Committee will discuss the Plan at Tuesday’s meeting.

We urge all residents interested in the status of Rustic Road 60 to attend Tuesday’s meeting and convey to the Highway Committee the importance of the adoption of the Plan by the Highway Committee.
