How many species of trees does Appleton manage? You might be surprised
Reader question: How many different types of trees does the City of Appleton plant and maintain? Answer: The proposed 2027 Appleton budget contains a section titled "Statistics and Performance Indicators" that states the city maintains 53 species of terrace trees, which exceeds its target of 42. The section further states that Appleton has eight tree species that number more than 1,000 trees. Its target is nine species at that threshold. I called City Forester Mike Stanonik to learn more. He directed me to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources' Wisconsin Community Tree Map , a website that identifies nearly 1.3 million trees by species, size, condition and precise location. The Tree Map counts 34,205 terrace and park trees in Appleton, though about 250 of them were damaged or destroyed by the July 27 tornado . Park trees in naturalized areas, such as ravines or waterways, haven't been inventoried and aren't included in the total. Interestingly, the Tree Map lists 10 species in Appleton that exceed 1,000 trees, two more than indicated in the city budget, and 100 species overall, nearly double the total in the budget. Stanonik attributed the differences to how the trees are categorized in the inventories. Various

Green Bay Public Market readies revised project plan, loses county grant
This story has been updated to add new information. The oft-delayed Green Bay Public Market project has lost a grant just as backers say they're on the verge of sharing a scaled-back plan and updated timeline for the North Broadway food hall. Brown County Corporation Counsel David Hemery in an Oct. 15 email notified Public Market officials the county rescinded the $250,000 project grant , awarded in December 2024. The project would not meet the funding requirements, he said. The county at the same time revoked a similar, $100,000 award to the Green Bay Children's Museum on the same grounds. The project will not complete construction by Dec. 31, 2026, a key requirement of the grant, Hemery on Oct. 28 told the Brown County Board. The county's Administration Committee in April asked Hemery to contact the Public Market and Children's Museum for updates due to inactivity and that neither project's leaders responded to the county's letters. Hemery shared details of the grant recissions during the County Board's annual budget meeting at the request of Supervisor John Van Dyck who said he wanted it explained to the full board that the action was not the board's fault, but "the failure of

WisDOT seeks community input on U.S. 10/State 441 maintenance project
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is once again eyeing part of U.S. 10/State 441 in the Fox Cities for maintenance. Between Cold Spring Road in Fox Crossing and South Telulah Avenue in Appleton, the department has proposed concrete pavement repairs along the mainline and interchange ramps, replacement and/or adjustment of some deteriorated beam guards and culverts, replacement of the approach slab at U.S. 10 eastbound over Little Lake Butte des Morts bridge, secondary structure improvements, and upgrades to curb ramps, signal/electrical systems and pavement markings. The goal of the project is to improve ride quality in the area and extend the service life of the road and structures under the pavement and along the corridor, according to the department. The department has also launched a new webpage to further explain the work, its schedule, potential impacts to the community and drivers, and opportunities for the community to provide feedback: projects.hub.wisconsindot.gov/pages/15007800 . When would this work on U.S. 10/State 441 start? If approved, the work is scheduled to begin in 2032, but could start as early as 2031. Leading up to that work, the department will be working on environmental documents in 2027, with final design taking place between 2027 and
