Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Menasha public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Midway Place Resurfacing and Utility Construction Payments
Midway Place is getting a full asphalt resurfacing from Midway Road to its terminus, with Northeast Asphalt recommended as the low bidder at about $117,853.
2026 Street and Utility Project Wrap-up
The city wrapped up this year's chip sealing of residential streets, swapping some streets out of the program (Ida Street in; Lincoln and Manitowoc streets out) at no extra cost. The final $55,716 payment closed out the contract.
Third Street deferred paving
Instead of fully paving Third Street, the city will patch it now and finish it later, after redevelopment and possible sewer lateral work — saving about $69,700 today but leaving the street temporarily patched.
Eighth Street paving payment
The city cut its first check — $67,174.65 — to MCC Inc. for paving work on Eighth Street as part of this year's street construction contract.
Nicolet Boulevard intersection study with Neenah
Menasha and Neenah are moving ahead with a formal study of the Nicolet Boulevard intersections at Washington Street and Ahnaip Street, following up on last year's roundabout feasibility study. Menasha leads the study, splits costs 50/50 with Neenah, and Neenah pays a 10% administrative fee. Actual reconstruction of Nicolet Boulevard is planned for 2028.
2026 Street Crack Sealing Program
Chip sealing — a protective asphalt-and-gravel layer — is planned for streets including Birling Drive, Silverbirch Drive, Railroad Street, and Jefferson Street. The board recommended the $55,716 contract, the only bid received.
