Howard Ehmke spoke to the Town Board about some concerns he has about some particular areas of Perch Lake Rd.; one being the culvert which was replaced near Russ-Mainik Rd 3 summers ago. He stated that the road heaves badly in the spring. The board agreed that due to frost coming out of ground and the fact that the water table has been at record high the last 2 years there is nothing they can do. Also Mr. Ehmke has concerns about the speed limit on Perch Lake Rd and the danger of pulling out of his driveway along with other neighbors with limited vision of traffic. The Town Board explained that speed limits are set by WI DOT and are willing to put up “Hidden Entrance “signs where ever it is necessary.
