The Common Council Meeting for the City of Greenfield, Wisconsin, held on September 16, 2025, addressed several key agenda items focusing on infrastructure improvements, maintenance agreements, and community development initiatives.
The meeting commenced with discussions on upcoming infrastructure projects, specifically the drainage improvements along the 90th Street corridor. The council confirmed that contracts for sewer work have been signed, with construction expected to commence this year. This project aims to alleviate flooding issues in areas that have been significantly impacted by heavy rainfall.
Next, the council addressed the relocation of street lighting and trees due to the new street layout. Plans were discussed to safely move existing trees to preserve them, with city staff already working on a relocation strategy.
The council then moved to approve a maintenance agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation concerning the replacement of a bridge. This agreement stipulates that once street lights and sidewalks are installed, they become the city's responsibility.
In a bid to enhance urban forestry, the council adopted a resolution to apply for grants from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. This initiative aims to support the city's efforts in maintaining and expanding its green spaces.
The meeting also included the adoption of an ordinance repealing the no-parking regulation on the east side of South 68th Street near West Bernard Avenue, which was unanimously approved.
Finally, the council approved the site landscaping and architectural plans for a new convenience store, Quick Market, located at 6437 West Forest Home Avenue. This approval follows a previous endorsement of the project, indicating continued support for local business development.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to improving infrastructure, enhancing community resources, and supporting local businesses, with several motions passed unanimously to advance these initiatives.
