AND CITY OF OSHKOSH The Experimental Aircraft Association's (EAA) annual AirVenture convention creates a significant traffic impact on our community. The City has worked successfully with EAA over many years to fabricate, install and remove signage that helps to manage traffic flow on city streets during the convention. This working relationship has developed over time without a formal structure. It is important to establish a more formal relationship with EAA regarding AirVenture signage for a couple of reasons. First, the agreement serves to document the areas of responsibility for each party, which can hopefully help to address any future conflicts that might arise in regard to traffic management. Second, forthcoming standards on signage visibility and retroreflectivity require a more comprehensive process of managing all of our roadway signage. This agreement supports our efforts to meet that requirement. Under this agreement, the City assumes no new areas of responsibility and no additional costs beyond what has been experienced in previous years. Because this formal structure is new, the agreement is structured to last for only two years. If this is successful, I anticipate that we would seek to renew this agreement in subsequent years.
