Commission approves administrative cleanup of Redwood Street parking language in traffic manual
Summary
The commission approved corrective edits to the traffic manual to match original intent for no-parking limits on Redwood Street after an omission caused the restriction to extend unintentionally when the road was later extended.
The West Bend Traffic Safety Commission approved an administrative amendment to the city traffic manual on Sept. 29 to correct language governing no-parking restrictions on Redwood Street.
City staff explained the 1995 ordinance language intended a no-parking restriction on a defined segment of Redwood Street east of River Road. When the street was later extended, the ordinance language — lacking an explicit endpoint — was interpreted to carry forward, inadvertently applying the restriction to a longer stretch. During a recent review, staff discovered a small section near Madison Avenue that had been omitted from the manual and proposed language that clarifies the intended no-parking limits.
Max (city staff) described the correction as a housekeeping action to align the manual with the original intent: no parking on Redwood Street from Eastern Avenue to River Road (and other school-hour restrictions as listed in subsection 2.31). A motion to adopt the revision was seconded by Mr. Hilsley and approved by voice vote.
Staff said the amendment is administrative and intended to restore the originally intended limits and to list all existing restrictions (including school-hour parking rules) consistently. The change passed without public opposition recorded during the meeting.
