The Traffic Safety Commission meeting held on September 29, 2025, in West Bend, Wisconsin, focused on addressing ongoing concerns about road safety, particularly regarding crash patterns and enforcement strategies.

During the meeting, members expressed frustration over a perceived stalemate in finding effective solutions to improve safety on local roads. One suggestion was to utilize community service officers; however, it was noted that these officers lack enforcement authority, limiting their effectiveness in addressing traffic issues.

Commission members discussed the predominant crash pattern of northbound versus westbound traffic, suggesting that the hill's topography may contribute to visibility problems for drivers. To mitigate this, the idea of installing curb bump-outs on the south side of the road was proposed. This modification could potentially enhance sight angles for drivers, although it would complicate matters due to existing storm sewer inlets in the area.

Despite the discussions, no formal motion was made to implement any changes, leading to a conclusion that the commission would continue to monitor the situation. The police department committed to deploying a radar trailer and increasing officer presence in the area to enhance enforcement efforts.

The meeting concluded with plans to reconvene in April 2026, maintaining the commission's biannual schedule. The ongoing commitment to road safety remains a priority for the commission, as they seek to address community concerns effectively.
