The City of Waukesha's Building and Grounds meeting on October 6, 2025, focused on several key traffic safety issues, including the potential conversion of intersections to four-way stops and the installation of new signage.

One of the primary discussions centered on the intersection of Hine Avenue and Dop Street. Alder Camacho proposed converting this intersection to a four-way stop. However, city officials reviewed traffic volume data and crash history, concluding that the intersection did not meet federal standards for such a change. The analysis indicated low traffic volumes and no reported crashes over the past five years. Consequently, the recommendation was to maintain the current two-way stop configuration, with Hine Avenue stopping while Dop Street remains a through route.

In another matter, the committee discussed adding a 25-mile-per-hour speed limit sign and relocating two existing speed limit signs on Pebble Valley Road near Pebble Valley Park. This proposal aimed to enhance safety, particularly for children near the park. The committee agreed to add a new speed limit sign west of the park and move an existing sign that was obscured by tree growth to a more visible location.

Additionally, the committee reviewed a request to install a dead-end sign at the intersection of Parkton Drive and Richter Drive. This request, brought forward by Alder Mannion, aimed to address concerns from residents about drivers mistakenly entering the cul-de-sac. Alder Mannion noted that while he does not support adding dead-end signs to every cul-de-sac, this particular location warranted the addition due to its longer access road.

The meeting concluded without formal votes on the first two items, as the recommendations were not acted upon, allowing them to die for lack of motion. However, the proposals regarding speed limit signage and the dead-end sign were approved, reflecting the committee's commitment to improving traffic safety in the community.
