The Waukesha City Building & Grounds Committee took a series of mostly technical actions Jan. 6 on traffic signs, parking restrictions and studies. Items were generally supported on voice votes after brief staff presentations and local resident input.

Votes and key details

- South Washington/Lindbergh signage: Approved placement of a horizontal alignment warning sign with a "Traffic from right does not stop" plaque (staff referenced MUTCD templates). Motion carried on voice vote; design details to be refined by staff.

- Cleveland Avenue: Committee approved performing a traffic study of Cleveland Avenue between Moreland Boulevard and Niagara Street to gather volume and speed data; staff reported 50th/85th percentile speeds and proposed signage in the northbound direction (action: study authorized).

- National Avenue (south side) parking restriction: After neighborhood discussion the committee approved no parking on the south side of National Avenue from the east side of the subject driveway back to Rosemary Street (motion modified and approved). Staff drew the precise line on the map during the meeting; the change removes a short stretch of on‑street parking to improve driveway sight lines and plow access.

- No overnight parking at/around 624 E. North Street: Approved posting no overnight parking on the north side of East North Street in the block described (motion passed on voice vote). Residents raised concerns about large trucks parked overnight interfering with driveway access.

- Caution sign — child with disability, 1325 Garfield Ave.: Approved installation of a "Caution: Children with disability" area sign on the block where the family lives; staff noted some sign plates are available for reuse.

- Handicap parking sign relocation (Washington Street corner): Committee authorized removing a recently installed reserved/handicap sign adjacent to a driveway and relocating the reserved space nearer the intersection as an interim fix while staff works with the resident/landlord on the precise placement.

- Budget: Committee reviewed 2025 routine and special projects budgets (routine $5,400; special projects $10,000 starting balance). Committee acknowledged carryover and past expenditures; no separate formal appropriation vote was recorded in the transcript for the budget beyond the staff presentation and acknowledgment.

Context and next steps: Most motions were technical, short of policy changes, and carried on voice votes. Staff will implement sign and marking changes, perform the Cleveland and other traffic studies, forward enforcement data to the police department when studies show concentrated violation periods, and continue minor mapping and field work to set exact sign locations.
