Title
Resolution authorizing the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works to install an official stop sign at the publicly traveled railroad grade crossing at East Jones Street near South Lincoln Memorial Drive for the planned National Highway Freight Program improvement of South Lincoln Memorial Drive from South Carferry Drive to Jones Street.
Analysis
This resolution permits the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works to install official stop sign at the publicly traveled railroad grade crossing at East Jones Street near South Lincoln Memorial Drive.
Body
Whereas, The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is undertaking a National Highway Freight Program project to improve South Lincoln Memorial Drive from South Carferry Drive to Jones Street; and
Whereas, eastbound on Jones Street there is an existing yield sign and crossbucks assembly just west of a stop sign at the intersection and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 8B.04(7) suggests combining the stop sign with the crossbucks assembly to pose a stop condition for both conditions; and
Whereas, combining these signs requires the local authority passing a resolution per State Statute 349.085; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that the Department of Public Works is hereby authorized to install official stop sign at the publicly traveled railroad grade crossing at East Jones Street near South Lincoln Memorial Drive.
