MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Christopher Strong, P.E., Director of Transportation
DATE: May 3, 2012
RE: Resolution to Approve Agreement with Wisconsin Department of Transportation
for Lighting Jackson Street/Oregon Street Bridge
Background
Under the previous resolution, the Common Council was asked to consider accepting a gift of a
decorative bridge lighting system for the Jackson Street/Oregon Street Bridge. In order for the
gift to be installed and used, the City must also enter into a municipal agreement with the
Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT).
Analysis
The City entered into a similar agreement with WisDOT in 2008 for decorative bridge lighting
installed on the Main Street Bridge. The agreement has several conditions on operations and
installation, none of which are objectionable to City staff.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in entering into this agreement.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval on the condition that the Council voted to accept the bridge lighting
gift considered under the previous agenda item.
Respectfully submitted, Approved:
