Unless specifically modified elsewhere in this Code, the following provisions shall apply to all

This is a request from the Mayor.
The mayor has asked that all Boards and Commissions consider whether alternate
members should be appointed to fill in when Board members are absent to insure a
quorum at all meetings.
3. A REQUEST FOR BIKE LANES AND POSSIBLE REMOVAL OF PARKING ON
OAKWOOD ROAD FROM 9TH AVENUE TO 20TH AVENUE (CURRENT
CONDITION: NO PARKING, BOTH SIDES, FROM 20TH AVENUE TO 9TH AVENUE
5:00 A.M. — 6:00 P.M. ON WEEKDAYS EXCEPT ON NEW YEAR'S DAY,
Please contact the Traffic Review Advisory Board at TRABRci.oshkoshmhus with any questions or concerns.
TPAB AGENDA ITEMS 2 NNE 11, 2019
MEMORIAL DAY, FOURTH OF JULY, LABOR DAY, THANKSGIVING DAY, AND
CHRISTMAS DAY)
This is a request from the Bike and Pedestrian Committee.
Oakwood Road is a 48 foot wide road with no parking from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on
weekdays except holidays. These restrictions were enacted in 2000 following the
reconstruction of Oakwood Road to a 48 -foot width. Oakwood Road is designated in
the 2005 Comprehensive Plan as a collector street, for which the Comprehensive Plan
proposes a minimum pavement width of 36 feet. The wider street reflects the 1993
Comprehensive Plan, which called for Oakwood Road to be wide enough for a four -
lane street.
The situation here has some similarities to 9th Avenue east of Highway 41, which was
recently converted to a 3 lane street, Parking was prohibited most times which allowed two
lanes of vehicular travel in each direction. Parking was allowed during times of day when less
traffic demand was anticipated. Because parking was allowed at times, white dashed lane lines
were not marked on the roadway.
From a crash history or congestion perspective, there does not appear to be a problem here.
However, citizens have expressed concern about driver confusion in areas like this, where the
roadway is wide enough to support two lanes of traffic each direction but the occasional presence
of parked vehicles prevent the road from being marked as such.
The average daily traffic count (AADT) is 5,200 on Oakwood Road. For comparison, the AADT
on Murdock Avenue is 9,500, 9th Avenue, east of Reichow, is 12,200 and East Irving Avenue is
4,900. We have a road diet on Murdock and 9a' Avenues. We have one driving and bike lane in
each direction with parking on one side of Irving Avenue. Based on the Oakwood Road traffic
volume, 4 lanes of travel are not needed.
A concern was brought up regarding left turning vehicles. I counted the left turns during the
afternoon peak hour between 2:15 and 3:15 p.m. There were 36 left turns from North Oakwood
Road onto Ruschfreld Drive. These appeared to mostly be parents who picked their kids up at
Traeger School. There were very minimal delays to turn left as the stop sign at 9ih and Oakwood
creates gaps in traffic. I counted only 12 left turning vehicles going west on Newport Avenue
and 16 going east on Newport Avenue during the peak afternoon hour. The school zone crossing
at Oakwood Road and Newport Avenue which significantly slows traffic before and after school.
I then did peak a.m. hour left turn counts. There were only 8 left turns from Oakwood onto
Ruschfield Drive. Observing the traffic patterns, it appeared that most vehicles left the
neighborhood to go to work or drop their kids off at school and did not return until after school
or work. There were not enough left turns to justify dedicated left turn lanes and dedicated left
turn lanes at non arterial/non traffic controlled intersections leading to local roads would be very
unusual. Additionally, the road is currently one lane in each direction so implementing options 3
or 4 would not change the legal traffic flow although it is understood vehicles do currently use
the parking lane as a travel and/or passing lane when there are not vehicles parked.
Please contact the Traffic Review Advisory Board at TRAB &c1.oshkosh.wi.us with any questions or concems.
TPAB AGENDA ITEMS 3 JUNE 11, 2019
There are at least four options available. (These options are pictured in Figure 1.)
Option 1: Stripe the roadway as a 4 -lane roadway. This would require removal of existing
on -street parking. From a traffic perspective, Oakwood Road does need to be marked for
this type of capacity.
• Option 2: Convert the roadwav to a 3 -lane roadwav/road diet. with desienated bicvcle
lanes. This would require removal of existing on -street parking. This option would agree
with the 2011 Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan recommendation. It is likely that this roadway
can comfortably handle its existing traffic load on a 3 -lane configuration, especially since
the two-way left turn lane provides additional capacity at intersections.
Option 3: Convert the roadwav to a 2 -lane roadwav with desienated bicvcle and Darkine
lanes. It is possible within the 48 -foot width to have one 11' driving lane, one 5' bike
lane, and one 8' parking lane in each direction. This option agrees with both the 2011
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the 2005 Comprehensive Plan. However, there is
currently limited parking demand on Oakwood Road. Therefore, at many times of day,
this 13' wide area (parking and bike lane) may appear to be a second driving lane.
However; the bike lane would help organize traffic and this option preserves on street
parking for residents and their guests on Oakwood Road.
• Option 4: Leave as is

TPAB AGENDA ITEMS
JUNE 11, 2019
Due to the likely demand by residents for on street parking and to better organize
traffic and follow the 2011 council approved Bike and Pedestrian Plan, I recommend
Option 3 to preserve on street parking and add bike lanes per the council approved Bike
and Ped Plan. However; if there is not a demand for parking, option 2 would make the
most sense from a traffic engineering standpoint.
I recommend approval of option 2 or 3 (based on parking demand).
