Analysis

This resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Public Works to direct the installation of a new traffic control signal at the intersection of West Wells Street and North 13^th Street.  The resolution also establishes the funding for the installation of the traffic control signal.

Body

Whereas, West Wells Street in the vicinity of North 13^th Street has seen an increase in traffic due to the Marquette Interchange reconstruction project; and

Whereas, Due to the proximity of a Marquette University parking structure north of West Wells Street, there are high pedestrian volumes at the intersection of West Wells Street and North 13^th Street; and

Whereas It is determined that a traffic signal will provide necessary accommodations for both the high vehicle volumes and high pedestrians volumes; and

Whereas, The total estimated cost of the signal installations is $45,000; and

Whereas, Fifty percent, or $22,500, of the total cost will be paid by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, twenty-five percent, or $11,250 will be paid by Marquette University and twenty-five percent, or $11,250 is included in the Division's Capital Improvement Fund Project/Grant Number ST220060000; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works be and hereby is authorized to accept $22,500 from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and $11,250 from Marquette University for the installation of a new traffic control signal at the intersection of West Wells Street and North 13^th Street; and, be it
