Recommendation                     

This referral was made by Ald. Cummings.  The request is to have crosswalks, upgraded curb ramps and audible pedestrian signal items added to the existing traffic signal at the intersection of STH 59 / 164 (Les Paul Parkway) & CTH Y (Racine Ave). 

 

This item is being brought to the Buildings & Grounds Committee under “Communications and Referrals” because this item cannot be acted upon by the Committee.  The traffic signal in question and associated roadways are not in the jurisdiction of the City of Waukesha and, therefore, cannot approve such an item.  The Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation is the only entity that can approve and install such equipment on their owned and maintained facilities.  The item will be discussed by the committee and to see if they wish to refer it to another agency for consideration.
