Fireworks Reminder

Fireworks in Wisconsin are strictly regulated by state law WI Stat. 167.10. Very few fireworks are actually legal in Wisconsin, without having a permit. Those “fireworks” are; sparklers, stationary cones and fountains, toy snakes, smoke bombs and caps, noisemakers and confetti poppers with less than ¼ of a grain of explosive mixture. These “fireworks” are the type usually found in convenience and grocery stores. Possessing or using any other fireworks such as firecrackers, roman candles, bottle rockets and mortars, without a valid permit is illegal. A general rule of thumb is if the device leaves the ground or explodes it is illegal.

Almost all fireworks permits held by users of the fireworks are not valid. Valid fireworks permits can only be issued by a mayor, village president, or a municipal employee they have designated. If a valid permit is issued it is only valid within the city, village or town where it was issued. Therefore, permits issued by fireworks vendors are not valid.





Century Avenue Closure Update

The contractors will again be transitioning the traffic control to the north and into the next phases of the Century Avenue construction. They will be installing additional traffic control and implementing additional street closures starting on Wednesday morning, June 28, 2017. The additional traffic control will close Century Avenue from Second Street to Woodland Drive to through traffic. Sixth Street and Eighth Street will be open for cross-traffic. 

The recommended local travel routes for these phases of the project will be as follows: Vehicles traveling east, or to the schools, can take Woodland Drive - Simon Crestway – South Street – Main Street; and vehicles traveling west, and to or from the downtown businesses can use Woodland Drive - Holiday Drive – Main Street or Holiday Drive – Klein Drive. 

Access to businesses on the west side of Century Avenue throughout this phase of the construction will be via Klein Drive.

Access to businesses on the east side of Century Avenue between Second Street and Fourth Street may be changing periodically to accommodate the underground utility upgrades. Access will be from either of two routes (depending on the progress); South access will be Holiday Drive - Klein Drive – Fourth Street - Century Avenue to access the southern driveways and north access will be Main Street - Century Avenue to access the northern driveways. Additional signage will be installed to assist drivers and additional staff will be available to answer questions. 

Beginning Wednesday, and until further notice, access to businesses on the east side of Century Avenue will continue to use the north entrance; Main Street – Century Avenue.

The Regional Detour is still in place; The regional detour will connect CTH Q to STH 113 using CTH K – CTH M – STH 113.

WOW

Emerald Ash Borer in Waunakee


The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources “WDNR” has confirmed Emerald Ash Borer “EAB” in Waunakee. They found trees that are symptomatic throughout the village, in particular in the Wimbleton Way area and the industrial park area. The WDNR has stated that based on these findings EAB has been in our community for at least 3 years, probably more.  The WDNR has indicated that nothing really changes for our community as we are located in a previously quarantined county that is considered to be generally infested.  With this confirmation, it is prudent for the Village and our residents to keep the ash wood as close to “home” as practicable to slow the spread.  The biggest issue is folks taking wood from their dead ash and hauling it to a vacation property in a non-quarantined county (bad idea and illegal) or an uninfected community.
