Please use this letter as our request to the City of Oshkosh to allow us use of W. South Park Avenue between
Main Street and Oregon Street as a temporary truck route when Oregon Street will be closed at 23`d Avenue for
4 weeks during the City's proposed road construction.
This request is for the purpose of driving our manufactured vehicles from our South & West Plant facilities at
29d' Ave to our 20th Ave facility to prepare each vehicle for shipment to our customers.
This temporary truck route will assist us in maintaining a safe environment for the public and reduce amount of
time our trucks are on city streets when moving them from one location to another.
We would use this temporary truck route between the hours of 6:30 AM and 11 PM for truck movement
between our facilities Monday through Friday.
If you do have any concerns, questions or problems to report, please feel free to contact me anytime. My direct
phone number is (920) 237 -4257.
Sincerely,
Harold Hansen
