Police report shows steady traffic stops and recurring crash corridors; grant to fund intersection upgrades
Summary
Green Bay police reported steady traffic-stop numbers in March (about 673 stops), 788 citations and 232 total crashes (24 injury crashes); staff flagged recurring crash corridors and said a state grant will fund improvements at three intersections including Sturgeon Bay Road & University.
Green Bay police presented the department's monthly traffic-enforcement report, emphasizing steady enforcement activity and recurring trouble spots.
Sean Hamill walked commissioners through March figures: about 673 traffic stops for the month, 788 citations and 232 total crashes, of which 24 involved injury. Staff said most crashes were property-damage-only and that crash patterns largely replicate prior months, with a seasonal uptick expected as weather improves.
Hamill highlighted priority enforcement areas identified using a Wisconsin DOT predictive-analysis tool that ingests local crash history and forecasts near‑term risk. Staff listed University & Elizabeth, Sturgeon Bay Road & University, and Main Street & East Mason as near‑term focus areas.
The commission discussed a recent crash that destroyed a signal controller at Elizabeth Street; staff reprogrammed the intersection and adjusted timing so University approaches receive longer green time to reduce sudden stops. Hamill said the city had been awarded just over $1 million for improvements at three intersections, including work at Sturgeon Bay Road and University.
No formal action was taken beyond receiving the report; commissioners asked staff to provide detailed measurements and follow up on signal programming and grant implementation.
