MANAWA, WI- Manawa launches road construction on Factory Street and Walnut Street for the 2024 season, initiated by Cedar Corporation on April 15 with tree removal. The deteriorated streets prompted the reconstruction, including new driveways. Concerns arose during the April 15 city council meeting when Kristine Hein and Terry Hein contested changes to plans for their property, originally a curb cut-out. Public Works Director Josh Smith explained the need for an apron for erosion control and neighborhood uniformity. Residents voiced disappointment over lack of communication regarding tree removal and project details. Smith pledged improved communication and posted updates on the city’s website. Walnut Street reconstruction faces delays due to potential proximity to a Native American burial site, requiring an on-site archaeologist. Updates available on the city’s website.
