Title

Resolution authorizing execution of a Connecting Highway Rescission with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation on South 5^th Street and West Washington Street.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the execution of a Connecting Highway Rescission with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for the relocation of State Trunk Highway (STH) 38 on the Connecting Highway System, including Traffic Signal Operation and Maintenance on West Washington Street from South 6^th Street to South 5^th Street and on South 5^th Street from West Washington Street to West National Avenue.

Body

Whereas, Section 86.32(1), Wisconsin Statutes enables the State to designate certain marked routes of the state highway system over the streets or highways in any municipality for which the municipality will be responsible for maintenance and traffic control; and

Whereas, The conversion to two-way traffic on South 5^th and South 6^th Streets between West Washington Street and West Florida Street has eliminated the need to maintain two roadways for the operation of STH 38; and

Whereas, The designation of STH 38 will be retained on South 6^th Street for both northbound and southbound traffic between West Washington Street and West Florida Street to provide a more direct route for a Connecting Highway; and

Whereas, The proposed designation of STH 38 will result in the removal of West Washington Street from South 6^th Street to South 5^th Street and South 5^th Street from West Washington Street to West National Avenue from the Connecting Highway System; and

Whereas, The proposed designation of STH 38 will delete traffic control signals on South 5^th Street at West Mineral Street and West Washington Street from the Connecting Highway System; and

Whereas, The reduction in Connecting Highway lane miles caused by the change in routing of STH 38 will result in an annual decrease in state funding of $7,533.00; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of Public Works and Comptroller are authorized to enter into an agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to rescind the designation of STH 38 from the Connecting Highway System on West Washington Street from South 6^th Street to South 5^th Street and on South 5^th Street from West Washington Street to West National Avenue.
