Allouez Village Band Donates Artpiece to the Community

The Allouez Village Band has recently donated the artwork “Generations” to the Village of Allouez which is on display at the Allouez Community Center on Webster Avenue.  The band commissioned Door County artist Miles Amorelli to produce the artwork in dedication of past, current, and future band members.  The seven foot tall metal art piece was made possible, in part, through donations from the estate of Al Moede, who played saxophone with the band.

“This great piece of art really exemplifies the gracious giving that is found in Allouez.   We are very grateful to the members of the Allouez Village Band and the Moede family for this gift.  Miles really did an excellent job on the piece and it is a wonderful addition to the Allouez Community Center.”  said Chris Clark, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry for the Village of Allouez.

 

The Village of Allouez appreciates all donations and gifts that help beautify the community.  If you are interested in donating or gifting for a project or program in the village please visit the village website at www.villageofallouez.com or call 920.448.2800.

 

WIS 172 Ramp Work at Webster Ave. Begins Oct. 24

Brown County) The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Northeast Region announces a safety improvement project will begin Monday, October 24, 2016 to reconfigure the WIS 172 and Webster Avenue westbound ramp intersection. Construction is scheduled to be complete by Sunday, October 30, 2016.

Vinton Construction of Manitowoc, Wis. is the prime contractor.

The project will reconstruct the right turn island on the southbound approach on Webster Ave. to westbound WIS 172 and the associated right-turn lane. The new island will remove the large, sweeping curve and create an acceptable approach angle to the westbound on-ramp lane to WIS 172. The new geometry on the approach is expected to reduce right-turn crashes and help motorists see conflicting traffic.

Traffic impacts:

·    Westbound WIS 172 on-ramp from Webster Ave. will be CLOSED Monday, Oct. 24 through Sunday, Oct. 30. No signed detour will be provided. Traffic seeking westbound WIS 172 should utilize the local street system.

·        Southbound Webster Ave. reduced to one lane.

·        Both lanes of northbound Webster Ave. will be open.

·        Access to business and properties in the work zone will be maintained.

The $157,000 project is funded through the federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).  Motorists are advised to use caution and remain alert when driving through this or any work zone.

Senior Seminars

Village of Allouez will begin offering monthly Senior Seminars. These seminars will cover a wide variety of interesting topics from technology to finances. These seminars are FREE and open to the public. Below you'll will find the schedule of topics for 2016:



2016 Fall Clean-Up

 



Fall cleanup of leaves and garden waste begins October 17 and extends thru the week before Thanksgiving. Leaves should be placed on the lawn next to the curb by Monday morning, but NOT IN THE STRRET. The Village crews make pass thru the Village every 6-7 days.

 

It is important that leaves be placed at the curb by Monday morning, since leaf collection varies & does not always follow the garbage collection schedule.

Due to the large volume of leaves, baler collection is continuous, especially in November, and leaves may be picked any day of the week. There is no brush collection during November, so please do not mix brush and leaves together when placing at the curb, as the brush prevents the leaf collection from functioning. Last day to place any leaves or fall cleanup on the curb is Sunday November 13!

Overnight Parking

 

No person shall park a vehicle on any street in the Village between 2:00 a.m.                  

and 6:00 a.m. during the five-month period from November 1 through March 31 of

the following year. The Village Administrator has the authority to call off or suspend the

seasonal parking ban ordinance, weather permitting, after March 15^th of any one year.
