Title

Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to shut down and cover an unwarranted traffic control signal at the intersection of West Keefe Avenue (Vacated) and North 27^th Street, in the 7th Aldermanic District.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to shut down and cover an unwarranted traffic control signal at the intersection of West Keefe Avenue (Vacated) and North 27^th Street.

Body

Whereas, The traffic signal at the intersection of West Keefe Avenue (Vacated) and North 27^th Street is no longer warranted following the cessation of most activities at the Tower Automotive facility on North 27^th Street; 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, An evaluation will be performed following the shut down and covering of the traffic control signal at West Keefe Avenue (Vacated) and North 27^th Street to determine if the traffic control signal should be permanently removed; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works be directed to shut down and cover an unwarranted traffic control signal at West Keefe Avenue (Vacated) and North 27^th Street.
