Hotel passes plan commission but driveways get more discussion


City of Kaukauna photo/One of the issues with Kaukauna’s allowance of a driveway on the side of a garage is that a recreational vehicle could be parked on the side of a neighboring house, with noise from that activity just eight feet away from a neighbor potentially trying to sleep.
With little discussion, a request for a special exception use to construct and operate a 67-room, three story hotel at 222 Lawe St. passed the Kaukauna Plan Commission on Thursday afternoon.

Fox Locks in Kaukauna now open for summer


Brian Roebke photo/The 5th lock in Kaukauna is the last lock in the Fox River Navigational System Authority to be renovated. When the Kaukauna lift bridge is operational later this summer, boaters can go from the Rapid Croche dam between Kaukauna and Wrightstown all the way to Menasha through the lock system.
Progress continues to be made on reopening the Fox Locks system from Green Bay to Lake Winnebago. This summer, five more locks in Kaukauna will be open for boat traffic once the Catherine Street Lift Bridge in Kaukauna is fully repaired.
