Kenosha receives major fiberoptic infrastructure investment

admin building industry, city planning, commerce, economics, highway, internet, internet service provider, investment, john antaramian, kenosha, network, official, peter, transports 0 Comments September 22, 2022

, 2022-09-22 11:50:00,

Officials with the City of Kenosha and SiFi Networks announced the construction launch of the Kenosha FiberCity project, a major fiberoptic infrastructure investment aiming to offer a fast and affordable all-fiber internet network to every home and institution in the city.

The $100 million privately-funded project could offer speeds up to 10 gigabits in the coming years, among the fastest speeds available to the public in the nation.

Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian, project manager Ed St. Peter and SiFi Networks community relations liaison Marcus Bowman announced the project Thursday morning in Lincoln Park.

The project will be constructed at no cost to taxpayers, according to SiFi Networks officials, and internet service providers would have the ability to offer their clients a packages with a faster internet network. It’s the first such project in southeastern Wisconsin.

The FiberCity project will also be an open access network, which allows fiber infrastructure to be shared by multiple service providers, whether internet or wireless.

“Kenosha residents and businesses will see a great benefit from the Kenosha FiberCity project, ensuring that affordable, high-speed internet service is available throughout the entire city,” Antaramian said.

Construction is expected to take approximately three years to complete and will follow a phased construction timeline, neighborhood-by-neighborhood, according to officials. While the winters may slightly alter the timeline, officials said they remain optimistic that they can deliver a project that the community will benefit from in the coming years.

“We’ll be working closely with SiFi Networks to ensure a smooth construction process so we can collectively get every address in the city connected over the course of the next few years,” said St. Peter.

Construction will occur in the parkway and occasionally in the roadway using a micro-trenching machine, St. Peter said. The machine is specifically designed to cut a 1.25 inch by 12 inch deep incision or trench – typically where the road meets the curb or where the curb meets the parkway – where fiber is to be laid.

The machine cleans the debris as it cuts so no dust…

Namesakes and Waterways of the Midstate: Pinchot Lake, state park bear name of forestry trailblazer | Midstate Digital Communities

admin dcnr, fishing, forester, gifford pinchot state park, golf course, horseback riding, hydrography, name, park, pinchot lake, politics, rivers-lakes, sport, theodore roosevelt, transports, warrington, york 0 Comments August 30, 2022

, 2022-08-30 05:00:00,

It’s also the name of a person, Pennsylvania’s governor, in fact, from 1922 to 1925 and again from 1931 to 1934, Friends of Pinchot State Park’s website said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources referred to Pinchot as the “foremost American apostle of conservation,” saying that after he graduated from Yale University, he went to France and became the first American to be trained in forestry.

In 1898, President Theodore Roosevelt named Pinchot chief forester of the U.S. Division of Forestry, a title he held until 1910, DCNR said. In this position, Pinchot worked with Roosevelt to place over 200 million acres of national forests under scientific land management. His policies still guide many national forests, DCNR said.

During his time as governor, Pinchot never lost his passion for forestry, saying, “I have been governor every now and then, but I am a forester all the time,” DCNR said. He also used his terms as governor to organize work camps that built 20,000 miles of paved roads that helped farmers travel from their farms to the market, Friends of Pinchot State Park said. The first of these was created in 1931 and runs parallel to the park today as state Route 177.

After Pinchot’s death in 1946, groundbreaking for the park’s construction took place in 1959, Friends of Pinchot State Park said. In 1960, the first water spilled over the dam and the following year then-Gov. David L. Lawrence dedicated Gifford Pinchot State Park.

Today Gifford Pinchot State Park offers 2,338-acres (with 340 acres of lake) of year-round recreational opportunities.

Location: Gifford Pinchot State Park (2200 Rosstown Road in Lewisberry)

Depth: Average of 6 to 8 feet

Creeks: Beaver Creek begins in Warrington Township in York, runs through Pinchot Lake and empties into the Conewago Creek northeast of the lake

OMAHA — A Kansas City-based infrastructure design firm will lead the design of a project meant to connect the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge with north downtown.

The North Downtown Riverfront Connector Bridge, also known as the “Baby Bob,” will expand downtown Omaha’s iconic 3,000-foot pedestrian bridge. The project is meant to increase access between north downtown and the riverfront.

With City Council approval Tuesday, the city will pay up to $235,411 to HNTB Corporation for design engineering services related to the project.

The North Downtown Riverfront Connector Bridge is planned to span Riverfront Drive and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks, connecting the 13-year-old Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge to a point near the intersection of 10th and Mike Fahey streets.
