Roundabouts in Oconto County

What or who is in charge of the highways in Oconto County?

Roundabouts on a major Highways?

a) one in city of Gillett by the curve north of Gillett by the Shell Station.
b) one at the Hwy 22 / 32 intersection 3 or 4 miles east of Gillett.
c) one just west of downtown Oconto Falls by the feed mill.

Latest news in the Times Herald.

This is not Europe, this is Wisconsin.
Why would the state highway dept. put roundaboutsin our area.
I can see if it is a non State highway but this is a little over the top!
What will these roundabouts do for the city of Gillett, Oconto Falls and others small towns along State Highways 32 and 22
Most people will find a way to bypass Gillett, as if the city of Gillett doesn't have enough problems with small bussnesses.
Remember the survey the city had with high School students.
What did they tell them, "when we graduate we are gone"!
No future in this area! No Bakerys etc. , yes, thank you Subway but we need more bussiness.
The state may be thinking about cheap ways to update the highway , but how will the trucking industry take these changes?
Highway 22 is a major road through Gillett going north from Shawano , get ready CTH R , most people will bypass Gillett in Cecil and take CTH R to Suring. Will bussiness traffic bypass Oconto Falls and Gillett all together?
We only need to look at enrollment at the Gillett school system to see what is happening in our area.
What was kindergarden numbers this year ( I was told it 34) . What will it be when more quality of life issues keep leaving Gillett and the area?
I would hope our elected officials in Gillett, Oconto falls and Ocounto County are looking at this closely! Is this the case highway funding , use it or loose it?
Did you ever notice why we have curbs out in the counrty at most intersections? I was told highway money has to be spent or the counties loose money in the next budget.

THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WAKE UP PEOPLE, ITS OUR TAX MONEY , not elected or state beauracrats.

Call your elected officials and ask them if we have any other options .

Would stop lights be cheaper?
