Supervisor Sandstrom provided an update on the Wannebo Road project. Per the board voting last month to change the length of the construction from 2 miles to 1 ½ miles for budgeting purposes, WisDOT has acknowledged and approved the change, and the designer of the project, Derrick Bacha has changed the length of the project to be reflected in his final design for the project due in early February. Again, depending on how the bid for the project comes out this spring, the board may choose to pave more than 1 ½ miles if the budget allows.

Supervisor Park will check on UDC inspection options to provide an update next month.
