City of Oshkosh Mayor Matt Mugerauer and other area leaders called for the completion of overdue road improvement projects on community highways Monday during a “Re-VITAL-ize” event hosted by the League of Wisconsin Municipalities and the Transportation Development Association of Wisconsin. Mugerauer said that roads are the backbone of the Oshkosh community. “The state highways running through our community have been vital to our success,” Mugerauer said. Hummel said that the university appreciates the maintenance of local roads. The group says that local leaders have warned that the highway rehabilitation program is insufficient without a sustainable, long-term funding solution.
