KAUKAUNA — Falling bricks from the side of a building on Lawe Street have come perilously close to injuring pedestrians walking by, according to a Kaukauna alderman.

The vacant building is located on the 300 block of Lawe Street.

“If your child is walking or biking to the Riverview Riverview Middle School or Park Community Charter School, PLEASE have a talk with them about this sidewalk closure,” Alderman Marty DeCoster wrote in a Facdebook post.

“I have now witnessed a few close calls of children nearly getting hit and stuck crossing the highway, now in an area with no crossing guard or traffic light,” DeCoster said.

DeCoster said he has contacted city and county officials along with the owner of the building and has been told they are all doing as much as they can to speed up the process of razing this building.

The Galleria of Tile, on the other side of an empty lot, has safe entry on the side and front of their building. Park on Sara street to patronize this business.
