Council drops sidewalk, OKs 30-foot Hemlock Street
Hemlock Street will be rebuilt with new utilities, curb and gutter and a consistent 30-foot width — but no sidewalk — after the Rhinelander Common Council voted 6-2 to side with residents who opposed the plan. The Oct. 26 vote followed the defeat of a motion that would have added a sidewalk along the west side of the street, a feature some council members said had been part of an earlier compromise on the city’s Spruce Street area design project.
