Segments of Oshkosh Avenue are proposed to be changed to Koeller Street and segments of Omro Road are proposed to be changed to Oshkosh Avenue. Applicable Ordinance Provisions: N/A Property Location and Background Information Highway 41 and 21 interchange (east side), Omro Road east to Oshkosh Avenue and N. Koeller Street (approximately 1062 N. Koeller Street to Oshkosh Avenue (approximately 1855 Oshkosh Avenue). This is a mixed use area with residential dwellings and retail businesses. ANALYSIS As part of the US 41 improvement project, the State will be reconstructing portions of the frontage roads and interchanges which involves the STH 21 interchange that will include Omro Road to approximately 1732 Oshkosh Avenue and N. Koeller Street to approximately 1062 N. Koeller Street. Attached is diagram of the future street layout that shows the extension of Koeller Street to Rath Lane. Currently Oshkosh Avenue transitions into Omro Road in the Robbins Restaurant area (1810 Omro Road) and continues south to Koeller Street, approximately the bend in road near Father Carr's Place 2B property at 1965 N. Koeller Street. This is not the most efficient street naming layout and leads to confusion that can be corrected by changing the street names in association with street improvements in the area. The proposed street name change would extend Oshkosh Avenue from approximately 1746 Oshkosh Avenue to US 41 (removing the Omro Road designation). The west side of US 41 will continue with the Omro Road designation. The N. Koeller Street designation will extend to the north to future Rath Lane, which will change 4 properties from Oshkosh Avenue to Koeller Street. The changes create a situation where two streets will intersect at the roundabout versus three streets. Attached are memos from the City's Fire Chief, Tim Franz, and the Transportation Director, Chris Strong supporting the proposed street name changes. The street name changes are not proposed to become effective until completion of the improvements and the streets are opened for use. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the street name change as requested. 101 Court Street Oshkosh, Wisconsin 54901 City of Oshkosh Fire Department 920/236-5240 Fire Chief, Timothy R. Franz Q1~HKQ~H ON THE WATER MEMO-OSHKOSH FIRE DEPARTMENT DATE: Apri128, 2008 TO: Darryn Burich Planning Services Director ~--~ FROM: Tim Franz Fire Chief SUBJECT: Changing/ Assigning Street Names Koeller/Oskosh Ave. I have reviewed the proposed re-alignment of the Koeller-Oshkosh Ave that is proposed to take place with the Highway 41 reconstruction project. We have had confusion during emergency responses in this area as we have three streets without a clear geographical boundary that delineates the transition of one street to another. I am pleased to see that in the reconstruction plans that Oshkosh Ave. will continue to the 41 overpass as a boundary and Koeller will continue through and intersect with Oshkosh Ave. at the intersection (roundabout). This will more clearly define the streets for emergency response and not doubt save time when responding into this area. The re-use of Rath Lane for the newly constructed road along with the use of North Koeller leading into it, also provides a good concept for clearly defined streets and addressing. The fire department supports the changes in street names as presented and believes it will allow for less confusion and improved emergency response in this area. City of Oshkosh -Transportation Department 0 o HKOlH 926 Dempsey Trail, Oshkosh, WI 54902 (920) 232-5342 (920)232-5343 fax MEMORANDUM TO: Darryn Burich, Director Planning Services Division FROM: Christopher Strong, Transportation Director DATE: May 2, 2008 RE: Street Name Change I understand the Plan Commission is considering renaming a stretch of Oshkosh Avenue as Koeller Street, which would result in the Koeller Street name being continuous from its new northern terminus at Rath Lane to the existing Koeller Street further south. I agree with this proposal for a few interrelated reasons. • Navi ag tion. Leaving that stretch of Oshkosh Avenue with its original name will result in two intersections labeled as "Koeller and Oshkosh", which could be confusing for both residents and tourists. Safe . If a driver has difficulty understanding where they are, their attention is split between the driving task and the navigation task. The diversion of attention away from the driving task, also known as driver distraction, is recognized as a traffic safety threat. Simplifying the navigation task means that drivers can direct more attention to driving. This should help to preserve traffic safety. • Emergency Response. One purpose of our transportation system is to facilitate a rapid response to emergencies. If the location of an incident is uncertain, this can delay emergency response, which may adversely affect the outcome for the incident victim(s). Renaming the street as proposed should also therefore avoid adverse emergency response consequences. I would be happy to discuss any of these points in more detail. 3 ! ~r i o ~ t w -- i I ~ ~ ~.
