Section 258.10. Designation of seed potato route.

 

(1)  Except as provided in this subsection, the seed potato route shall be the route specified in sub. (2) . In the event the department concludes that all or any portion of the potato route defined in sub. (2) should not be traversed by trucks under a permit issued pursuant to this chapter, the department may declare the establishment of an alternative potato route. The declaration of an alternative potato route shall have the effect of changing the definition of "seed potato route" in s. Trans 258.02 (3) to the route described in sub. (3) . During any period when an alternative potato route is in effect, a permit issued under this chapter is not valid for the purpose of crossing any bridge along the seed potato route described in sub. (2) that is not part of the declared alternative route, even if such location would otherwise be within 15 road miles of the declared alternative route upon which travel would normally be permitted under s. Trans 258.06 (4) (b) . Traversing any bridge in violation of this subsection shall be grounds for revocation of the permit.

(2)  "Seed potato route" means STH 64 between Langlade County Trunk "H" and U.S. highway 41 in Langlade, Oconto and Marinette counties and U.S. highway 41 between STH 64 and the Wisconsin-Michigan border, unless an alternative potato route is declared under this section.

(3)  The alternative potato route shall be STH 64 between Langlade County Trunk "H" and STH 55 at Langlade, STH 55 from STH 64 at Langlade to STH 52 in Lily, STH 52 from STH 55 in Lily to STH 32 west of Wabeno, STH 32 from STH 55 west of Wabeno to STH 64 in Forest [Oconto] county, STH 64 from its intersection with STH 32 in Forest [Oconto] county to U.S. highway 41 in Marinette county, and U.S. highway 41 between STH 64 and the Wisconsin-Michigan border.

(4)  The department may declare the alternate route specified in sub. (3) by doing any of the following:

(a) Publishing notice of the declaration of alternative route in a newspaper of general distribution in the Antigo area.
