She said a memo in the packet contains tonnage and weight breakdowns and that staff will evaluate whether to repeat or expand the program in 2026.

On fleet purchases, Kyla said staff decided not to proceed with a previously approved grapple bucket for the loader after reviewing current operations with the new street superintendent; the earlier rationale for the grapple was to improve brush and fallen-tree handling, but staff concluded the existing equipment met needs.

Kyla also reported reallocations in the equipment budget to support upgraded snowplow capacity and increased brine use; the village purchased a brine tank late in 2024. She said staff are updating the snow-and-ice control program (last revised in February) and plan to present recommendations to the committee in coming months.

The committee was also advised of a Dane County bridge replacement project over Door Creek that will close the county highway bridge for two to three months during construction in 2027; staff encouraged interested members to attend a county project information meeting.

No formal committee actions were taken on these operational items; they were informational updates and administrative decisions by staff.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","5/14/2025 Public Works, Properties, and Sustainability Committee","oneSentenceSummary","Public works reported the April 26 e-waste event nearly filled two semis, decided not to purchase a grapple bucket for the loader after operations review, and said a revised snow-and-ice control program is forthcoming.","taxTitle","Cottage Grove, Dane County, Wisconsin","taxId",72712,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6241069,"Engineer: Quarry Ridge, Amazon utilities and Cottage Grove bike path moving forward; Heyday, Coyle Island South in early stages",109,1816000,1925000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3310428-4b7a854539cf7f2a5e4e2a7c0d5c1f61&start=1816&end=1925","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3310428-4b7a854539cf7f2a5e4e2a7c0d5c1f61/thumbnail_1816000.jpg","/articles/6241069/Cottage-Grove/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Engineer-Quarry-Ridge-Amazon-utilities-and-Cottage-Grove-bike-path-moving-forward-Heyday-Coyle-Island-South-in-early-stages","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6241069-f9a451bfc1f798122d6e6b08578f7a4c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770967692&Signature=YEjiRUVJjXZVukX5ipJczuPw8yIiKKzVOppD8siey7xAoNqHC38f8hotP~s7Jep3a6amcIviWkIc66g037xFrsdm7uLVNV8Ix8BprbZs5xL0~GRoQhtObSDEqurJa5pK0zBk-VloyH1JVGnw8HRqZG0SAS8plEMwlVF1uT~Zxs8laGPutD901Y8veuGj0cod~9ci6s3TmsvMfk5S8Z8W3r3lThA0jyk1PEoqZWLOYhXD3JYAaiyJSX-srPRYF-elUp~OUCvtohEtNN-AKhB1jIn4BABGkFLRrR1HRtI5HiWeU1NucSKelK7iWO8UGPsCTVAYyP7Sc1kZAka6~4rrhA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Village engineer Josh briefed the Public Works, Properties and Sustainability Committee on current and upcoming development and infrastructure projects, including Quarry Ridge street work, Amazon-site utility completion, Cottage Grove Road multiuse-path timing and the 2025 streets project.

Josh said contractors on Quarry Ridge have restarted street work and expect most street work to be completed in early June. He reported that the Amazon facility contractor has finished the majority of utilities and that county and state staff are finalizing Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) details for road improvements and roundabouts on the north end; full improvement plans will follow.

The engineer said the multiuse bike path along Cottage Grove Road is on the village schedule but is currently dependent on utility relocations: “The power is getting pulled off, and we're working with telecommunications to try to get their stuff buried too. So that's kind of hinging on when they could start over there, on that construction,” Josh said.

Josh also said PRE-C (contractor) was finishing concrete and would begin pulverizing and paving work soon for the 2025 streets project; the contractor hopes to pulverize and pave sections by late May/early June and finish before major summer events. He gave a tentative schedule that included pulverize next Tuesday with asphalt paving the week after Memorial Day for Heather and Bonnie streets.

Separately, Josh said Heyday expects to begin site grading and utility installation in June, and staff are consulting with developers on Coyle Island South (a farm development south of Cottage Grove Road near CVS) and an interceptor sewer plan in coordination with the utility commission. The committee discussed county funding contributions and the timing of developer work.

No formal actions were taken; the item was informational and staff will continue permitting and coordination with developers and county agencies.","The village engineer updated the committee on developer projects, the Cottage Grove Road multiuse path, the 2025 streets project and timing for Bonnie Road paving; multiuse path work on Cottage Grove Road is awaiting utility relocations.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6241072,"Village board approved no-parking on north side of Clark Street; signs pending",102,486000,588000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3310428-4b7a854539cf7f2a5e4e2a7c0d5c1f61&start=486&end=588","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3310428-4b7a854539cf7f2a5e4e2a7c0d5c1f61/thumbnail_486000.jpg","/articles/6241072/Cottage-Grove/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Village-board-approved-no-parking-on-north-side-of-Clark-Street-signs-pending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6241072-27b5ca53b6e57de80035e2fe4e94ceb5/orig.mp4?Expires=1770967692&Signature=EOxDVjBclmShEsbkKLe9Dw7XY1IMOqQikO47AdenfuEmP25JGF7ppfIYgioQ39UwoBsG1iW7Cz~sFi~3IWOjvljVZ1WVa0CIlucwxOPxM6gCb2rjomkNS~ZTGRjxx-q~3FZwgDAVS~vjVBRVyg-db11GgU6cvxXu645998tF6Sm2jFmkzH8SadiBZ~RBV4YZildrYXG2S-AHL41cT84sKz5V5pQ4nZgHfPvBF4PATzcidK2iqJXRLHY--~d8Cef9zrPg8sGGixngfRjpPzHzPAFn6WI-n9Nwvm~cIeH3UKU4izYYVDlYvs3RxU4pt0Batm7Wx4EuhJXBjWVNFi8E2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Works, Properties and Sustainability Committee updated members that the village board has approved a no-parking designation along the north side of Clark Street to preserve two-way travel and emergency access.

Kyla said the change follows a temporary no-parking order during events at Bakken Park and was recommended to address limited travel width for emergency vehicles. She told the committee staff are “working on getting signs to fully implement that” designation once the temporary restriction expires.

Committee members discussed parking pressures during overlapping events. Kyla and staff noted parking alternatives at Bakken Park, near pickleball courts and during the Fireman's Festival but said rugby games and other concurrent events led some attendees to park on the grass and neighborhood streets. The police chief reported an increase in parking tickets during those events, according to staff.

No new ordinance language was presented at the meeting; staff described the implementation as a signage and enforcement action following village board approval. The committee continues to monitor event-day parking and agreed to revisit the issue if it reoccurs.","The committee reported that the village board approved a no-parking designation for the north side of Clark Street to maintain two-way access for emergency vehicles; staff said signs will be installed after a temporary restriction ends.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6241078,"Residents urge stop signs, speed humps after traffic increases on Landmark Drive",1680,99000,1779000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3310428-4b7a854539cf7f2a5e4e2a7c0d5c1f61&start=99&end=1779","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3310428-4b7a854539cf7f2a5e4e2a7c0d5c1f61/thumbnail_99000.jpg","/articles/6241078/Cottage-Grove/Dane-County/Wisconsin/Residents-urge-stop-signs-speed-humps-after-traffic-increases-on-Landmark-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6241078-83fc3a3ead2b1758ba505037fb43349c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770967692&Signature=Ou2BLdCYcSlmOQGfRapriziL-ocnm8CJ-i64leCIhV8reS846ntQSHR-L3QclJvAw~rxWvVRZSiVcDkZm6Hf69NzyBpELeLmSnrKA4EDBKXRyHiBehVzNU4ONpIlGELkHyelMkuL6ExIFbgyHrRpj-mOpIyFENdvx8SiWOiQm9sG0k9SRyZiR-U7o57Sl0dRbtGZ4nI0~-bnl3qjCoNpvjpVAp83Wz90W~DuRAZ8XRPlwarUdLCJEH8yHk~YCBWM0v6Q5~KCkoVY5DoTwrsPSsvSYItNzvB9v-c~S-I6VtMcPgYeY3zv6ybUlgFSKy7QUM4qo9B-7lOn6Fn0WSelIg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Steve Gridonis, a Landmark Drive resident, told the Public Works, Properties and Sustainability Committee that cut-through traffic from nearby commercial developments is increasing speeds and volume on Landmark Drive and asked the village to “investigate that situation, please.”

The request followed public comments at the committee meeting on speeding and stop-sign violations near the intersection of Landmark Drive and Michelle (sometimes referred to as Michelle Lane). Resident Beth Kuchar, who said she lives “about 2 blocks away” at 404 Melissa Lane, said she started an online petition after an April 28 incident and urged the committee to “reinstate the stop sign” removed earlier and to consider speed bumps or increased patrols.

The committee’s discussion raised several traffic-calming options and practical constraints. Committee member Chris and others recommended getting input from the village engineer and police chief before installing permanent devices. Village engineer Josh described the difference between speed bumps and speed humps and noted Madison and Monona use “tabletop” or speed-hump designs for pedestrian crossings; he said those designs are easier on plows than traditional speed bumps. Committee members and staff also noted complaints residents commonly raise about noise from speed humps and impacts on low-profile vehicles.

Kyla, a public-works staff member, said long-term steps such as adding locations to the capital improvements plan may be necessary for larger changes. She also said dead-end streets in the village exist because they abut town properties, and that blocking Landmark Drive entirely would have safety and emergency-response implications.

Committee members asked Josh to review a short list of intersections — including Michelle and Landmark and the nearby Commerce/Gaston area — and provide comments for the next meeting on stop signs, speed humps, mini traffic circles, raised intersections, painted traffic calming, and temporary bollards. Several members said they are willing to act without a full traffic-impact study for small local stop-sign changes but want professional input on specific locations first. The committee did not take a formal vote on any new signs or devices; staff were directed to evaluate and return with recommendations.

Speakers at the meeting also flagged that a three-way intersection near the discussed area is a bus stop used by elementary school children, and that any changes should consider pedestrian safety.

The committee scheduled further discussion of traffic calming for its next monthly meeting and requested engineering and police comments on the intersections identified during this session.","Residents asked the Public Works, Properties and Sustainability Committee to reinstate a removed stop sign and pursue traffic-calming measures on Landmark Drive; staff and the village engineer were asked to review options and report back.","actionData","errors"]
