Shawano Avenue improvements are underway!

Today, crews began mill-and-pave work on Shawano Avenue between Oakland Avenue and Hudson Street to smooth out the rough, pothole‑filled roadway and extend its life until a full WisDOT reconstruction in the coming years.

What to expect this week:

One lane of traffic in each direction will remain open, but lane widths are reduced to 10 feet – please slow down and allow extra travel time.

Several side streets along Shawano Avenue will be closed during active work; local access to homes and businesses will be maintained.

All work and closures are weather‑dependent and may shift if conditions change.

Thank you for your patience as we make this busy corridor smoother, safer, and more reliable for everyone who lives, works, and drives here.

Cardboard is one of the most recyclable materials we collect, and Green Bay residents recycle a lot of it! To help keep the process running smoothly, please break down boxes and cut cardboard to pieces no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet before placing them in your bin. Large or unbroken boxes can slow down collection and sorting. Flattened cardboard saves space and moves through the system more efficiently. Every box you break down helps strengthen our recycling program. Thank you for doing your part. ♻️

One of the easiest ways Green Bay residents can improve recycling is by keeping plastic bags, wraps, and films out of curbside bins. These items can tangle in sorting equipment at the recycling facility, leading to delays and costly damage. Instead, plastic bags and film should be taken to designated drop-off bins, available at most major grocery stores. Keeping them out of your curbside bin helps ensure the rest of your recyclables are processed properly and efficiently. Small actions like this make a big difference in how much we’re able to recycle as a community.

The Green Bay Common Council met last evening, Tuesday, June 2nd and approved several items, including three of note for residents.

On the infrastructure side, a contract was awarded to Vinton Construction Company for new sidewalks along Finger Road and into the East Town development, including new traffic signals at East Mason Street and East Town Way.

The Council also approved a recommendation from the Traffic, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Commission to remove the traffic signal at Dousman Street and Oneida Street, replacing it with an all-way stop.

Finally, the Council approved moving forward with the Path for Pause project, opening a Request for Qualifications to find an artist to design artistic stepping stones for a meditation labyrinth at Olde North Crossing Park.

The full meeting video, minutes, and agenda packet are available at greenbaywi.gov/Meetings. The next Common Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 16.
