New DEO Officer for the Village of Allouez

Please join us in welcoming Jason Vogel, DEO Officer for the Village of Allouez. 

Dear Allouez Neighbors,

It is a great privilege to be the new Direct Enforcement Officer (DEO) for the Village of Allouez.  A brief introduction of myself;  I was born in the Sturgeon Bay area, married and have a 4 year old daughter.  I have 13 years of law enforcement experience with the last 8 years working for the Brown County Sheriff’s Office.  I look forward to integrating myself into the community by assisting in any way I can help out. I intend on having a booth set up at our Farmers’ Market, next to the Village Hall on Libal Street where I will be available to answer questions, seek ideas or just get to know you.  Additionally, I will continue to re-establish the Neighborhood Watch program and continue working on developing Neighborhood Associations.  With the assistance of our Code Enforcement Officer, Mark Roberts and Planning and Zoning Administrator, Trevor Fuller, we believe that these two programs will be a great benefit to the Village.  If you have an interest in starting up either of these programs in your neighborhood or have any questions on any police matters, please feel free to contact me at 920-448-2800 ext. 109 or via email at Vogel_jp@co.brown.wi.us.

Sincerely,

DEO Jason Voge

GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY THE WINTER

The Village of Allouez Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department would like to invite you to check out some winter recreational activities that we have to offer here in Allouez.  The ice skating rink at Green Isle Park, 2500 Greene Avenue, is open and available for ice skating.  The warming shelter and restrooms are open from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays.  Skaters may use the rink on other days during daylight hours, however there are no lights for night skating.  Due to the late start to winter this year, the Department will not be opening the ice rink at Langlade Park this year.

 

The sledding hill at PH Martin Webster Park, 2111 Jourdain Lane, is also open.  The hill is located between the old shelter building and the tennis courts, is unsupervised, open to all, and free. Sledding opportunities are during daylight hours only and as long as there is snow on the hill.  Although sledding is fun, due to its nature sledding is at your own risk and the Village of Allouez assumes no liability for possible injuries or damage to equipment.

We would also like to encourage winter enthusiasts to check out the groomed cross country ski trails along the Resch Family East River Trail.  The Department has groomed several trails and loops from Green Isle Park to Wiese Park.  We are hoping to maintain the groomed trails this winter as long as we have adequate snow pack to accommodate the grooming equipment.  For other users of the trail and parks, please respect the groomed trails and use proper winter trail etiquette.  Please do not walk in the ski tracks as boot holes and dog footprints ruin the trail for skiing.  Walk and snowshoe on the walking trail or next to the ski trail.  Also, for the pet owners, please remember to pick up after your pet and dispose to the feces properly.

And finally, for those that still want to walk, run, and bike during the winter, our trails are still open.  We have two trails that we remove the snow from for recreational purposes.  There is a plowed trail loop in Green Isle Park from the park entrance area to the tennis courts.  In addition the new Allouez Trail Connection along Highway 172 from Webster Avenue to the Fox River Trail is open.  Please remember that snow and ice may be present on these recreational trails and trail users assume some risk of use due to the nature of snow and ice surfaces being slippery.

Remember to have fun and please send us your pictures enjoying the wonderful Allouez parks this winter!

Village Street Tree Maintenance

The Village of Allouez Forestry Division will be maintaining trees along the streets throughout the community this winter.  Urban forestry staff will be pruning village street trees in Management Units 8, 9, and 6 (see attached map) for clearances and the health of the trees.  If a management unit is not completed this winter, it will be carried over into the next year until all of the street trees have been maintained as needed.  The Division also performs street tree pruning on a request basis by homeowners.  If you see a need for tree maintenance, feel free to contact the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department so that we can schedule the work.

 

In addition the Division will be performing street clearance pruning of various village street trees and privately owned trees throughout the community that have been selected by the Public Works Department.  These trees are encroaching into the street right of way and have been noted due to branches that are growing too low over the street or sidewalk resulting in safety concerns or traffic issues.  Per the Village Code of Ordinances, the village is responsible for maintaining 14 feet clearances over streets and 10 feet over sidewalks as well as providing clear vision for motorists and pedestrians.

 Please feel free to contact the Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department at 448-2805 if you have questions or would like to request maintenance of street trees in your neighborhood.
