In other business the plan commission discussed the Bono Creek Landing, the access road to the landing and parking area. The road surface has been quickly deteriorating along with the shoreline eroding and in need of rip rap. Seeing the Town doesn’t own the landing and the State of Wisconsin DOT owns the road John Nyara and Jayson Nohl suggested the Town Board will decide what to do with the road and contact the DOT about rip rap.
