1 - Seminole Hy. and Beltline to Be Closed Sunday and Monday Night
Neighbors have been seeing bike detour signs on the frontage road and motor traffic detour signs for Hy 18/151 if they were in the vicinity of PD at Verona Road or Seminole Hy. What are they all about? Fortunately, a Fitchburg Alder sent me a notice which explains what’s going on.
Here’s the Dept. of Transportation notice about the road closings for Sunday and Monday nights, Oct. 16 and 17:
From the Wisconsin Department of Transportation:
Westbound Beltline closure scheduled for Sunday, Monday night
The westbound Beltline near the Seminole Highway bridge will be closed 11 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 16) to 5 a.m. Monday (Oct. 17) and 11 p.m. Monday (Oct. 17) to 5 a.m. Tuesday (Oct. 18) for bridge repair work.
Westbound traffic will be detoured using Todd Drive, Frontage Road, Seminole Highway, McKee Road, and Verona Road.
The Seminole Highway bridge will be closed concurrently with the westbound Beltline Sunday and Monday night. Motorists must use alternate local routes.
Crews will be working to replace a girder on the Seminole Highway bridge.
Although I haven’t checked, I believe this is part of the beginnings of the Verona Road project. However, according to a Strand and Associates spokesman I talked to this week, Verona Road project construction doesn’t start until 2013.

3 - Invitation to the Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood Association Annual Meeting, Oct. 26
Greetings neighbors
I’d like to encourage everyone to attend the Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood Association Annual Meeting, Wednesday, October 26, 6:30 P.M., at Prairie Unitarian Universalist Society, Whenona Drive at Crawford Drive.
The annual meeting is a chance for you to meet your neighbors, voice your questions and concerns, and learn about the neighborhood association.
This has been a productive year for the DMNA, despite low participation and a turnover in leadership. Some of our accomplishments have included
· Installation of pet waste bag stations in Marlborough Park
· Participation in the Apache Pond project in Fitchburg several times during the year
· Neighborhood Garage Sales and a Neighborhood Yard & Garden Tour in June
· Marlborough Park picnic in August
· Continuing to be a voice for the community on the Verona Rd. Project
If any of this sounds of interest to you or you have ideas to suggest for the neighborhood or other issues to bring up, we hope to see you there.
Bob Hague, President
Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood Association
