Members annotated DOT functional-classification maps for Middleton—discussing principal/minor arterials, collectors and local roads—and debated reclassification implications (e.g., Valley Ridge, Donna, Bellefontaine). The committee also reviewed Complete Streets Guide definitions (continuous sidewalks vs raised crosswalks, buffered vs protected bike lanes) and maintenance impacts such as snow clearing needs.
