Resolution authorizing the Commissioner of Public Works to shut down and cover an unwarranted traffic control signal at the intersection of West Bolivar Avenue and South 6^th Street in the 13^th 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 Bolivar Avenue and South 6^th Street in the 13^th Aldermanic District.

Body

Whereas, The traffic control signal at the intersection of West Bolivar Avenue and South 6^th Street is unwarranted; and

Whereas, The traffic control signal at the intersection of West Bolivar Avenue and South 6^th Street has been operating in continuous flashing operation since January 2007; 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 Bolivar Avenue to South 6^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 Bolivar Avenue and South 6^th Street.
