Title
Resolution relating to the establishment of traffic and parking lanes on East and West St. Paul Avenue.
Analysis
This resolution directs the Department of Public Works to reconfigure the traffic and parking lanes along East and West St. Paul Avenue between North Water Street and North 8th Street such that there are 2 traffic lanes of equal width (one in each direction) and 2 parking lanes of equal width (one on each side of the street), except where turning lanes are provided, and to repaint the lane markings on the street accordingly.
Body
Whereas, The present alignment of traffic lanes and parking lanes along East and West St. Paul Avenue between North Water Street and North 8th Street, with 2 traffic lanes eastbound and one traffic lane westbound, is confusing to motorists and makes vehicle turning movements difficult, particularly for large vehicles; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of Public Works is directed to reconfigure the traffic lanes and parking lanes along East and West St. Paul Avenue between North Water Street and North 8th Street such that there are 2 traffic lanes of equal width (one in each direction) and 2 parking lanes of equal width (one on each side of the street), except where turning lanes are provided; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Department of Public Works is directed to repaint the lane markings along this street immediately upon adoption of this resolution by the Common Council.
