Meeting to focus on WIS 15 improvements from US 45 to Lily of the Valley Drive in Greenville

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region in Green Bay is announcing a public information meeting to present WisDOT’s planned improvements to WIS 15 from US 45 to Lily of the Valley Drive in Outagamie County, including the proposed bypass of Hortonville. The meeting will be held Wednesday, November 7 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Hortonville High School, 213 East Towne Drive, Hortonville, in the cafeteria. A brief presentation will be made at 5:10 p.m.

The meeting is being held in an open house format and the public is encouraged to attend at their convenience, provide input and ask questions concerning this project. WisDOT representatives will be available to discuss the project on an individual basis and receive comments.

WisDOT completed a study in 2009 developing a range of potential WIS 15 improvements, including a bypass around Hortonville, to improve safety, reduce congestion, and minimize access to preserve the corridor for future transportation use. The project is now being designed with construction planned to begin in 2016.

Written comments regarding the study can be mailed to Bill Bertrand, WisDOT, 944 Vanderperren Way, Green Bay, WI 54304 or emailed to william.bertrand@dot.wi.gov. Citizens who are deaf or hard of hearing and require an interpreter may request one by contacting Bill Bertrand at least three working days prior to the meeting.
