The Village Board of Ashwaubenon convened on July 22, 2025, to discuss several key ordinances affecting local traffic regulations and parking policies. The meeting highlighted significant changes aimed at enhancing safety and addressing community concerns.

One of the primary discussions centered around the adoption of Ordinance O7-1-25, which repeals and recreates Chapter 7 of the traffic and vehicles code. This ordinance specifically targets the regulation of bicycles, motorbikes, and similar vehicles, increasing the forfeiture fee for violations from $25 to $50. Board members expressed a strong desire to educate parents about the responsibilities that come with purchasing these vehicles for their children. Concerns were raised about the safety of young riders, with one member sharing personal observations of children riding scooters unsafely in traffic. The board unanimously approved the motion, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement to protect children.

In addition to the bicycle ordinance, the board addressed Ordinance O7-2-25, which amends parking regulations on Alden Circle. This ordinance aims to clarify parking prohibitions that had previously been inconsistently enforced. The board decided to eliminate the no-parking rule on both sides of Alden Circle, reverting to a system that allows parking on the interior perimeter while maintaining restrictions on the outer perimeter. This change was made in response to resident concerns following the installation of new signage that had inadvertently restricted parking.

The meeting concluded with a reminder for board members to submit any items for the next agenda, followed by a motion to enter a closed session for further discussions. The decisions made during this meeting reflect the board's commitment to improving community safety and addressing resident feedback regarding local traffic and parking issues.
