Title

Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to shut down and cover an unwarranted traffic control signal and to install a temporary two-way stop control at the intersection of the eastbound IH 94 exit ramp and North 13^th Street north of West Saint Paul Avenue in the 4^th Aldermanic District.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to shut down and cover an unwarranted traffic control signal and to install a temporary two-way stop control at the intersection of the eastbound IH 94 exit ramp and North 13^th Street north of West Saint Paul Avenue in the 4^th Aldermanic District.

Body

Whereas, The traffic control signal at the intersection of the eastbound IH 94 exit ramp and North 13^th Street north of West Saint Paul Avenue is no longer warranted; and

Whereas, The eastbound exit ramp from IH 94 to North 13^th Street is under the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and approval will be necessary from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the change in traffic control prior to implementation; and

Whereas, The continued operation of the traffic control signal results in a waste of electrical energy, fuel, and maintenance personnel hours, and causes unnecessary delay for drivers and pedestrians; and

Whereas, The installation of a temporary two-way stop control is recommended at the intersection following the shut down and covering of the traffic control signal; and

Whereas, An evaluation will be performed following the shut down and covering of the traffic control signal at the eastbound IH 94 exit ramp and North 13^th Street north of West Saint Paul Avenue to determine if the traffic control signal should be permanently removed; and

Whereas, Further approval from the Common Council will be requested prior to permanent removal of the traffic control signal at the intersection if the trial shutdown is successful; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to seek approval from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the shut down and covering of an unwarranted traffic control signal and the installation a temporary two-way stop control at the eastbound IH 94 exit ramp and North 13^th Street north of West Saint Paul Avenue; and, be it

Further Resolved, That upon approval from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Commissioner of Public Works is authorized to shut down and cover an unwarranted traffic control signal and install a temporary two-way stop control at the eastbound IH 94 exit ramp and North 13^th Street north of West Saint Paul Avenue.
