Purpose

Background:  Wisconsin’s diverse economy is dependent upon state roads and infrastructures as well as city, county, and village streets and transit systems across the state.  Safety is a primary concern and responsibility of governments across Wisconsin and roads that are not maintained cause accidents. Our state highway and interstate system is the backbone of our surface transportation system and plays a vital role in the economy of Wisconsin. Both local and state roads and infrastructures need proper maintenance in order for our economy to grow.  With people coming in and out of Sauk County for tourism, work, and everything in between, the quality of our roads is very important. Over the last nine years three vehicles have left the roadway, falling over 100 feet ending up in Mirror Lake. The three crashes resulted in three fatalities  Sauk County asks the State of Wisconsin (DOT, Legislators, etc.) to allocate additional funds for safety improvements to the I 90/94 bridges (B-56-0047, B-56-0048) over Mirror Lake.
