Staff Statements
❖ Evaluation of traffic in the area of 4th/5th and Michigan Street. We received a citizen request
at the last meeting and I have also received an email request to evaluate traffic in this area to
see if additional traffic control is warranted. This whole area is under construction currently.
There is road construction, and construction of the Boat Works Apartment Complex, as well
as the new Theda Care Hospital. It is premature to evaluate traffic volume and patterns as
they are likely to change after these construction projects finish. The new Boat Works
Apartments are residential so should generate minimal new traffic.
❖ ATV/UTV Follow-up. The Common Council didn’t get 4 members to agree to move forward
with allowing ATV/UTVS on city roads.
❖ Grand Street Parking Follow-up. The Common Council deferred a decision on the Grand
Street parking recommendation.
❖ Traffic Signal Recommendation Follow-up. The Common Council voted 3-1 against
installing traffic signals at the east driveway of Traeger Elementary and W. 20th
❖ E-bike Recommendation Follow-up. The Common Council voted unanimously to prohibit e-
bikes on sidewalks abutting buildings following the recommendation of the committee. Once
the ordinance is enacted, staff will work to educate the public.
