This feature depicts each county in the entire State of Wisconsin and identifies when the one long-line mowing operation is to be completed on roadsides along state managed highways. This is outlined as part of the rural mowing policy, WisDOT Highway Maintenance Manual (HMM) 07-05-35 Mowing. Specific guidance to the timing of mowing operations is identified. There are three mowing completion dates based on the county’s location, south, central, or north, and growing season. The creation of this feature happened in 2012 by Bureau of Highway Maintenance. The intended audience includes WisDOT staff, County highway departments who perform maintenance activities and any entity or person interested in knowing when each county is expected to have completed the one long-line mowing operation. This data will help communicate when, where and why mowing activities are happening or not happening. This dataset was automatically cataloged from the creator's Open Data Portal. In some cases, publication year and bounding coordinates shown here may be incorrect. Additional download formats may be available on the author's website.
