FAQs
* The reinstallation of mailboxes is the responsibility of the property owner. Mailboxes are private property and under the jurisdiction of the United States Postal Service. A guide to reinstall mailboxes is on the Town’s website.
* Garbage and recycling carts and yard waste bags are to be placed in the driveway or on the terrace on garbage day and not in the bike lane.
* Please do not rake or dispose of yard waste or blow lawn clippings on to the roadway. The roadway will be swept a minimum of once per month to keep the roadway clean and to avoid plugging the stormwater inlets.
* The area in front of your home or business has been seeded and matted. Please do not pull up the matting until at least late June or early July 2022 to allow for the grass to take root.
* When mowing your yard, raise the deck to its highest level to avoid wrapping the matting around the mower blade. The matting is designed to disintegrate over time.
* Please pick up pet waste and dispose of it properly.
* Please do not block the sidewalk with cars parked in your driveway.
* The planting of flowers, trees, and shrubs in terrace is prohibited.
* Please contact the Town Hall before installing a fence or planting trees or shrubs on your property next to the sidewalk. We want to avoid obstruction of or damage to the sidewalk and the infrastructure located under or near the sidewalk and terrace.
* There is no parking anytime on Omro Road.

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.

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

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

When will the temporary stoplight come down? Also, your page says “any farther questions” instead of further.

When can businesses put up their mailboxes? When will the USPS deliver mail on Omro Road?
Town of Algoma says
Hi Kayla:
Yes, you can put up your mailbox. Please see the post on the Town’s front page of its website for more information about installing mailboxes. There is a contact phone number provided for the USPS, if you have any additional questions.
Thank you,

how can i get rid of 20 bags of leaves , I’m at 257 oak manor drive
Town of Algoma says
Greetings Daniel:
The last pick-up for yard waste in the Town of Algoma was last month. Those dates were noted on the garbage and recycling calendar for 2021. You can take them to the county’s yard waste site, the city of Oshkosh’s yard waste site, or contact a private company like Grounds Guys or Landscape Solutions to see if they would collect them for a fee.
