Winter is in full retreat, and with temperatures rising road construction season, will soon be upon us. Tom Grunewald commented on the weather at Monday night’s Boyd village board meeting.
“It’s starting to get nice out,” he said in his monthly update, with the board voting to approve $95,609 in road work at its Monday meeting.
Together with already approved work from December 2022, that means $118,990 of asphalt and associated road surface work to take place in the near future.
Boyd streets to be all but remade in the near future include Center Street from the highway right of way north and around the corner to Rose Street, St. John’s street from Frederick to the end of the street, two blocks of Patten from Center to Adams in front of St. Joseph’s Church, and Clark Street from Ingersoll to 505 North Clark Street.
The Center Street road work will be done in cooperation with Chippewa County, with the county grinding down two inches and re-blacktopping.
The county is responsible for the middle 33 feet of Center Street as a county highway and the village is responsible for the outside portions of the road.
The work on Patten Street and St. John’s will see the blacktop dug up, while Clark Street will see a mix of blacktop and gravel, with Boyd Streets and Utilities department also to be involved in some of the road work.
Not included in the road reconstruction will be curb, sidewalk, and gutter, with these assessed to and paid for by property owners.
Covered in department reports, meanwhile, village clerk Sandi Isaacs has made the first payment on the police agreement recently renewed by Boyd and Stanley. The agreement now in force through December will renew on a yearly basis at its next review if everything continues to go well.
Also covered in village department reports is news that the park will be opening May 1, while fire board will soon have two new members, Dan Pilgrim and James Junker winning election to the Edson town board. George Wellner is staying on as well, with Pilgrim the new Edson board chair replacing outgoing chair Don Schesel.
