CROIX COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MINUTES Page 2 September 7, 1995 The state has purchased six zero velocity spreaders and two chloride tanks to be used in pre -wetting salt used on state roads by the Highway Department. A rail road crossing improvement project will take place on STH 128 north of Glenwood City. Two new types of culvert liners have been installed on I-94 deteriorated culverts. The I-94 Wisconsin/Minnesota bridge is open to traffic. Disappointing news is that the state has indicated it will include the quantity of salt used by counties to allocate monies, which penalizes St. Croix County for using salt effectively, sparingly, and efficiently; the current projected result is a 7.9% reduction in the state's budget for St. Croix County. The third phase of milling on county roads will begin today, with the paving and shouldering of these projects to follow. The Glenwood area 130th Avenue/CTH "G" (95-G-1) road construction project is underway. These projects, along with mowing and brushing make a solid work load into mid October. Update and Review of Current Road Inspection Activities; Humphrey and Fedderly updated the Committee on the current county -wide subdivision road process, road inspections, the process inconsistencies, and the lack of coordination of the process that is to certify that these roads are built to the specifications.
