Title

Substitute resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to permanently close South 14^th Street from West Windlake Avenue to West Lincoln Avenue.

Analysis

This Resolution would authorize the Commissioner of Public Works to permanently close South 14^th Street from West Lincoln Avenue to West Windlake Avenue to improve vehicular and pedestrian traffic operation and safety in the area.  

Body

Whereas, The South 14^th Street intersections with West Lincoln Avenue and West Windlake Avenue lie in close proximity to the signalized intersection of West Lincoln Avenue and West Windlake Avenue due to the diagonal orientation of West Windlake Avenue; and

Whereas, Normal traffic signal operation and resulting vehicle queues at the intersection of West Windlake Avenue and West Lincoln Avenue creates operational and safety problems at the adjoining South 14^th Street intersections in this street triangle; and

Whereas, Critical vehicular conflicts causing these operational and safety related problems can be eliminated at the intersections of South 14^th Street with West Lincoln Avenue and West Windlake Avenue by closing the short segment of South 14^th Street between these intersections; and  

Whereas, Closure of this roadway on a temporary basis was previously approved by the Common Council under File Number 050259; and

Whereas, The closure is now recommended to be made permanent; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works is hereby authorized and directed to permanently close the segment of South 14^th Street from West Lincoln Avenue to West Windlake Avenue.
