OSD task force delving into development

SCOTT DE LARUELLE
Unified Newspaper Group
Halfway through its mission to exam-
ine population growth within the Ore-
gon School District, a task force is
making headway preparing for what a
consultant says will be new era of sig-
nificant residential growth on the north
side of town.
The Student Population and Growth
Task Force was established in February
with three express charges: developing
a long-term population/student census,
reviewing the long-term capacity of
district and determining whether addi-
tional facilities are needed. The group
will next meet with the Vision Steering
Committee on Wednesday, June 21, to
provide the group with an update on the

task forces work, including a presenta-
tion by consultant Mark Roffers on dis-
trict population projections.
In a memo prepared for that meeting,
Roffers estimated the district will see
an increase of around 2,000 students by
2030, many on the east side of Fitch-
burg.
We are on a strong path to growth,
superintendent Brian Busler wrote in an
email to the Observer.
In his memo, Roffers said the purpose
of the study is twofold: reviewing the
impact of planned residential devel-
opment and demographic changes on
student enrollment and projecting hous-
ing growth over several periods: now
and 2020, 2021-2025 and 2026-2030,
using community and developer plans.
He said planners and developers are
optimistic on new and future hous-
ing growth in the district, noting sever-
al approved projects that would allow
significant growth potential.
Roffers said 95 percent of the project-

Tin Man steals the limelight

down for the Tin Mans

the moment on their smart-

cheers and applause erupt-

switch.
The June 6 lighting cere-
mony capped a years-long
effort to dress up the water
tower into a landmark.
There are now 12 LED
lights along the catwalk and
four lights, one on each leg,
that point up to the bottom
of the tank.
Many donned glow stick
bracelets to mark the occa-
sion in the dark, including

Legislative Opinion

Interstate tollways could be

road funding solution
As Wisconsin struggles to
fix its crumbling streets and
highways, more and more
people are talking about the
need for new funding sources.
One option is Interstate toll-
ways. Tollways will not pay
for municipal and state road
repairs. They can only pay for
Interstate highways. By fund-
ing construction and widening
of our Interstate highways,
tollways could free up exist-
ing transportation dollars for
state and local roads. A 2011
study by the Wisconsin Policy
Research Institute estimated
that tollways could raise $29
billion over 30 years.
Todays tollways are not
like the old days when you
had to slow down to a crawl
and throw your change in the
bin. All-electronic collection
allows people to pay as they
two options are available. One
is a pilot program that allows
three states to join togeth-
er to rebuild and modernize
one section of Interstate. The
other is variable-priced toll-
ing, which is a market-driven
approach. When a highway is
more congested, the price-per-
mile is higher. For example,
the toll may be 10 cents per
mile in medium traffic and 20
cents per mile in heavy traffic.
Drivers who dont want to pay
the higher toll will take alter-
native routes, much like they
do to avoid Illinois tollways.
To qualify for tollways,
Wisconsin would have to get
federal approval. I want to
hear your thoughts. Do you
favor tollways? If so, where
would you like to see them?

While all eyes were on the
water tower last Tuesday night
during the lighting ceremony, the
restored pump house also got a
new addition on its walls.
A collection of artwork went on
display that day inside the Oregon
Welcome Center, 134 Janesville
St., where it will remain through
the end of July.
Elementary School fourth-grade
art club made the drawings during
spring semester when their teach-
er, Molly DallOsto, asked them
to depict their favorite place in
Oregon. She said the students
used colored pencils, crayons,
markers or pencils on paper, and
many chose to draw local parks
and the Firefly Coffeehouse.
One such student is Caleigh

Historic Main

Q: Whats happening
with some of the brick
buildings downtown on
Main Street?
A: After buying three
historic buildings on North
Main Street earlier this
year, Jerry and Bonnie
Thiel are working to restore
them. The biggest project is
the building at 123/125 N.
Main St., where the Thiels
are exposing lower win-
dows that had been bricked
up over the years.
We plan to open them
up and do more stone and
brickwork to make the
building more attractive,

Bonnie Thiel said they
already have a retail busi-

The board last week
voted to provide about
