Eric says
I am curious what the Oakwood school traffic will be like. Will traffic be able to enter from east and west morning and afternoons?
Town of Algoma says
The traffic is being routed to N Oakwood, and the Omro Road and N Oakwood intersection will remain open.
Christine Nelson says
Will the final road be concrete or blacktop??
Town of Algoma says
Christine, Omro Road will be asphalt. Only the curbing and sidewalks will be concrete.

Christine Nelson says
Are they done paving Omro rd? Man holes stuck up pretty high!!
Town of Algoma says
Hi Christine:
Northeast Asphalt has only put down the first layer of asphalt From Oakwood School east to Brooks Lane. A second 1 1/2″ layer of asphalt will be added when the entire stretch of Omro Road is paved by mid-October. All the manholes will be approximately 1/4″ below the asphalt when completed. This is necessary so the snow plows do not damage the manhole covers and the plowing equipment is damaged by catching the manhole covers.
Thank you for your email,
Rich
Chris Koth says
Is the city going to plant trees in the green space between the sidewalk and the new roadway? I have seen them pictured on the spec sheets that were provided last year. Would like to know when and how many trees are going to be planted, considering that over 100 were taken out to complete the project.
Town of Algoma says
Greetings Chris:
No trees will be planted in the terrace between the curb and sidewalk. That picture was a general rendering of the road profile. The Town will not allow residents to plant trees, shrubs, or landscape the terrace. Omro Road is 1.8 miles in length and with trees planted on both sides of the road that would equate to 3.6 miles of trees. Algoma does not have the resources to maintain the trees or money to replace them if they die or are damaged.
Thank you,
Rich
