RE: Designate bike lanes and manage parking on N. Koeller and N. Westfield Streets
BACKGROUND
The extension of North Koeller and North Westfield Streets presented an opportunity for
multi-modal amenities including bike lanes and on-street parking. The road was constructed
in conjunction with this and following the Oshkosh Avenue area corridor plan
recommendations.
ANALYSIS
These bike lanes and on street parking are consistent with the visioning for the Oshkosh
Avenue corridor and Lakeshore Park area. Parking is allowed on the north side of the street
and restricted near intersections and where road width does not allow room. Bike lanes are
designated and striped to allow multi-modal access to the area including connecting the Wio-
Wash trail and Lakeside Park areas.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of these ordinances is the cost of signage and striping. The cost will come out
of the road construction project budget.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Common Council approve these modifications to Section 27A of the
Municipal Code pertaining to bike lanes designated and parking regulations on designated
streets and alleys.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
