Council approves multiple transportation and energy contracts, adds traffic control at Hammond and North 51st
Summary
The council approved a package of transportation and energy-related actions, including a $209,124 solar-design contract, a $683,031.85 WisDOT agreement for Blatnik reconstruction, a $149,527.28 pavement-marking contract, several STP and maintenance agreements, and an ordinance adding a three‑way stop at Hammond Avenue and North 51st Street.
The Superior Common Council on Tuesday approved several transportation and energy-related contracts and an amendment to the city traffic code.
Highlights approved by voice vote included: a $209,124 contract to Westcomb Incorporated for a solar system design for the Environmental Services division; a state municipal agreement with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for local improvements tied to the Blatnik reconstruction with an estimated amount of $683,031.85; a state municipal maintenance agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation related to the reconstruction project; revision No. 1 to an STP urban agreement for the Marina Drive Causeway project; and the 2026 pavement marking contract to Farner Asphalt Sealers LLC for $149,527.28.
The acting chair of the public works committee summarized the items and encouraged council members to review videos of the committee meeting for details on a potential utility acquisition and other topics. Several items were approved on unanimous voice votes with motions and seconds recorded by the clerk.
Council also adopted an ordinance to place a three‑way stop at Hammond Avenue and North 51st Street. The council discussed that one of the new stop signs is located on private property managed by the housing authority, and that property‑owner permission has been obtained to install the sign.
Motion sponsors and seconders were recorded in the minutes for each item (for example, Councilor Ludwig moved the Westcomb action, seconded by Councilor Ladin). The council did not record roll‑call tallies; votes were taken by voice.
The approvals will allow planned infrastructure and energy work to proceed under the awarded agreements and contracts.
