Title

Resolution authorizing the City of Milwaukee to participate in the American Automobile Association Road Improvement Demonstration Program to enhance safety by reducing the frequency and severity of crashes at locations identified as having a high number of collisions through the City's ongoing Accident Identification and Surveillance Program. (Infrastructure Services Division)

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the City of Milwaukee to participate in the American Automobile Association Road Improvement Demonstration Program.  The program provides funds to conduct safety reviews at locations identified as having a high number of collisions through the City's ongoing Accident Identification and Surveillance Program.  Once the reviews are conducted, the American Automobile Association will work with the City to identify and locate possible sources of funds to implement the proposed changes.  Participation in the program is at no cost to the City.

Body

Whereas, The American Automobile Association (AAA) Road Improvement Demonstration Program is a nationally recognized program that began in Detroit in 1996 and has grown to include almost 400 high crash intersections in Michigan; and

Whereas, The AAA Road Improvement Demonstration Program is an innovative Road improvement strategy through which public and private partners work together to develop and implement effective, low cost safety enhancements at high crash locations; and

Whereas, The proposed partnering approach will provide an opportunity to identify and implement safety enhancements that will benefit motorists in the City of Milwaukee; and

Whereas, AAA Wisconsin is interested in working with the City to identify specific locations and provide the necessary funds to conduct safety reviews; and

Whereas, Once the safety reviews are completed, AAA will work with the City to identify possible funds to implement remedial measures; and

Whereas, The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, and the Federal Highway Administration have expressed interest in the Road Improvement Demonstration Program, making a commitment by the City of Milwaukee crucial to the program's success; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City of Milwaukee is hereby authorized to participate in a partnership with AAA Wisconsin in the Road Improvement Demonstration Program.
