AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Memorial Day travel pressure hits Wisconsin: AAA says more than 830,000 Wisconsinites are on the move this weekend, with Friday and Monday the busiest days and gas averaging $4.43—up sharply from last year—so expect crowded roads and extra enforcement under “Click It or Ticket.” Work zones and safety: WisDOT is urging patience as construction and lane shifts remain in play, and officials are also pushing seatbelt use and safer towing/boating habits. Madison construction concerns: Multiple incidents across Madison—including injuries and a fatal hit-and-run in a work zone—are renewing questions about worker and public safety. Wildlife close to home: Wausau police are asking people to avoid a downtown area after reports of a mother bear and cub. Getting there, bigger planes: Airlines are swapping smaller regional jets for Airbus A319s on some smaller-city routes, promising more seats and amenities. Weekend ideas: Wisconsin state parks are open for Memorial Day, and the Lake Michigan Lighthouse Map and Circle Tour is out for road-trip planning.
