The Town of LaFollette is responsible for maintaining not just the roadway but also the Right-of-Way (Wis. Stat. 82.03 and 893.83). Most town roads have a 66 foot easement (i.e., 33 feet from the center line of the road on both sides of the road). Most town roads are 20 feet wide with a 2 foot shoulder on each side. The town is responsible ensuring the remainder of the Right-of-Way is clear of trees, brush and will mow the grass.
We have undertaken the maintenance of the Right-of-Way for the town's roads, including mowing the grass, brush and tree limb removal and where necessary tree removal. Prior to removing trees, the town will contact the property owner informing them of which trees will be removed and to obtain the disposition of any lumber resulting from the tree removal process.
