Ordinance 16-92 Approve speed limit regulation code update on Oshkosh/Congress
Avenue
The ordinance change on Oshkosh/Congress Avenue cleans up the municipal code [o match the
reconfigured ]ayout of the roadway with the roundabou[s. The current ordinance is outdated and
references in[ersections with Rath Larie, which no longer exist The Traffic Review Advisory Boazd
4-0 unanimously recommended this item.
ANALYSIS
I worked with [he Wisconsin DOT to make sure our code matches where theirjurisdiction s[arts and
e�ds on this roadway, which is also part of State Highway 21. WISDOT jurisdiction begins and
ends at the northbound highway 41 off ramp. The city sets the speed limi[ eas[ of [his location. The
city speed limit is currently 30 MPH on this s[retch of roadway so the ordinance does not c6ange
the existing speed limit.
FISCAL IMPACT
The only fisca] impact of these ordinances is [he cost of signage, which would come out of the Sign
Department's operating budget.
I recommend the Common Council approve this ordinance change to section 27-8 Speed Limits of
[he municipal code
