Council To Discuss Egg Harbor RoadBy Karen Klement DoorCountyDailyNews.com April 3, 2007
The Egg Harbor Road renovation project, rezoning part of the Hopf Property and community sensitive design elements will all be things discussed at tonight's Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting. The issue of improving Egg Harbor Road has hit the council agenda again. After an initial presentation by City Engineer Tony Depies, the issue was turned over to the Finance/Purchasing and Building Committee.
The item on tonight's agenda is a recommendation to proceed with the Two Way Left Turn Lane design on Egg Harbor Road in conjunction with the Traffic Impact Analysis that will be needed for any WalMart expansion. Including guard rails along the bike lane will also be discussed.
Also tonight, the council will look at zoning map amendments for a parcel located off of Highway 42/57, just south of the Sturgeon Bay known as the Hopf property. The council will consider rezoning some parts from Agricultural to a combination of single, two or multi family residential.
A recommendation from the Finance Committee to transfer $2,500 from general fund reserves to cover the city's financial participation in 2007 Legislative Days will also be considered.
In addition, the council will vote on paying one-third of the actual cost for relocation of transmission wire to allow for timely construction of the bridge approach for the Maple to Oregon Bridge.
Tonight will also be Mayor Dennis McIntosh's last meeting. McIntosh will give a report tonight that will include a review, critique, observation and his perspective with regard to the performance of Sturgeon Bay during the last 36 months. Along with McIntosh, tonight may be the last meeting for a couple other council members. Seats 1, 3, 4,5 and 7 are up for re-election. If available, election results will be announced at the end of tonight's meeting. Tonight's Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting will be in the Council Chambers at 8:00PM.

Hidden Text In Agenda Item???By Karen Klement DoorCountyDailyNews.com April 3, 2007
A member of Door County Residents For Fair Enterprise believes the Sturgeon Bay City Council should put on the brakes to the Egg Harbor Road renovation project. The item on tonight's council agenda is a recommendation from the Finance/Purchasing & Building Committee to proceed with the "Two Way Left Turning Lane" on Egg Harbor Road in conjunction with the Traffic Impact Analysis that will be needed for any WalMart expansion and to include guard rails along the bike lane.
Member Christie Weber believes this item regarding the Egg Harbor Road improvement, has hidden text that should be made more clear. She says along with the improvements is verbiage that includes approving the water run off plan and a third lane for a Super WalMart.Weber says while everyone else is busy helping with election night and waiting for the results in Sturgeon Bay,
the city staff and Mayor will be busy trying to force the city, under false pretences, into paying for Super WalMart's road widening improvements and water run off costs with a simple "yes" vote to pave Egg Harbor Road. Weber does not understand why this topic was not discussed at the Plan Commission and she is concerned about pedestrian safety with the added lane. In the current plan, there is nothing about adding sidewalks.
Weber is calling on all residents to attend tonight's meeting to send a message to the Common Council and the mayor. She is hoping that the council will vote this issue down until public comment from all residents is heard. Weber hopes that by their presence, some council members will reconsider the issue and vote against the recommendation.

You know, I'm getting more than a little tired (read - "PISSED OFF") over the constant scheming by the snobs who only think of themselves. From the outset, I KNEW "Rotten Apple" would make a piss poor mayor - I've heard many bad things about him when he was with the police dept, and KNOW what he's like first hand from my owbn dealings with him.
EVERYONE, please be sure to show up down at city hall tonight - try to be there early (say around 7:45pm) just in case they try to throw us off by dealing with it early (as they've tried to do with "secret plans" twice in the past). We need to protect not only ourselves but our neighbors as well. NOBODY - either friend or foe - should wind up unemployed because of their self-centered tactics.
We MUST protect and defend one another - to stand alone, individually against these threats to our well being will result in our defeat.
Look around - They're moving in
Hold your ground - When they begin
We can do it - We can do it
and if they wanna they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here
Gonna keep on driving - Never stop
United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
So keep it up - Don't give in
Make a stand - We're gonna win
We can do it - We can do it
and if they wanna they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here
Gonna keep on driving - Never stop
United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
So don't give up!
United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
