Board denies $6,000 change order to upgrade Cormier–Holmgren crossing improvements
Summary
The Village Board voted to deny a $6,000 change order to add high-visibility painting, a yield stop bar and signage to two rapid-flashing beacon crosswalks at Cormier and Holmgren, citing competing budget priorities and pavement-repair needs.
The Village Board of Ashwaubenon denied a $6,000 change order on June 24 that would have added high-visibility pavement painting, a yield stop bar and complementary signage to rapid-flashing beacon crosswalks at Cormier and Holmgren.
Public Works staff reported the contractor could perform the additional work at both crossings for $6,000 on top of the previously awarded contract. Some trustees urged the board to approve the enhancement for safety; others said higher-priority pavement repairs and the ongoing heat-related road damage argue against the added cost this year.
After discussion, a trustee moved to deny the upgrade change order and the board approved the denial by voice vote. Staff said the board could revisit added pavement markings and signage in a future budget cycle or perform supplemental painting administratively when crews are available.
