Motion by Kopp/Zahn to alter the order of the agenda and begin with the Bliss Road discussion. Motion carried. City of La Crosse Asst Director of Public Works Tony Hutchens gave a history of Bliss Road, listed the problems and the proposed solutions, and then took questions from the residents. Total cost to repair is $1.8 million. State would contribute $560,000, Federal Highway Administration would contribute $657,000 and the local share would be $582,000. The City of La Crosse had appropriated $180,000 for necessary repairs before the Aug 18/19 rain event that further damaged the road. The approximately 100 Shelby residents in attendance were from Arbor Hills and Arbor Meadows Additions and CTH F, areas mostly affected by closure of Bliss Road. Issues of concern included: Enhancement of Bliss Road for walkers and bikers without consulting local residents, lack of load restrictions, time frame to repair and reopen, accountability of the engineers who designed the reconstruction, returning the road to its original track (removing the approximately 2 additional feet on the outside of the road), rumors of permanent closure, portion of local cost the city was asking Shelby residents to contribute, why the city was asking for other municipalities to contribute at all. La Crosse Mayor Mark Johnsrud said the City Council needs to know if there is value in repairing Bliss Road. He believes there is. For the city it is tourism and access to the park on Granddad’s Bluff. Do the residents of Shelby believe there is also a value to them? Are they willing to contribute to the fix? He said he is willing to work with the Shelby Town Board toward a solution. He would like to see the road reopened by October, but we must begin soon or it won’t happen. The great majority of those present wanted to see the road repaired and were willing to see Shelby participate in the cost to some degree, but they want assurance that the repairs will last. They want both municipalities to make a decision and move on. They cited the cost in time and gas to use CTH F and State Road to get into La Crosse. The Town of Medary will be meeting on February 12^th to discuss this issue with residents. The La Crosse Common Council will meet on February 14^th for a final vote. Shelby Chair Lynnetta Kopp asked for a show of hands to determine interest in cost sharing for Bliss Road repairs. All but 12 of those who were there were willing to pay a portion of the cost. She said that she and Administrator Brudos would set up a meeting with Mayor Johnsrud to begin a dialogue.
