Resident urges traffic calming at three-way 55th/Beloit/Mitchell intersection; board acknowledges concern
Summary
During public comment, resident Laura Hankins asked the board to evaluate safety improvements at the three-way intersection of South 55th, Beloit Road and Mitchell Street, suggesting one-way travel and traffic signals; trustees thanked the resident and noted staff follow-up.
A West Milwaukee resident urged the Village Board on May 4 to consider traffic-calming measures at the three-way intersection of South 55th Street, Beloit Road and Mitchell Street, suggesting the village examine converting South 55th to one-way southbound and the potential for traffic signals rather than a four-way stop.
Laura Hankins of 1651 South 52nd Street raised the safety concern during the public-comment portion of the board meeting and requested evaluation of improvements. The board acknowledged the concern and thanked residents for bringing it forward; no formal motion or immediate action was taken at that time.
The request was entered into the meeting record and can be forwarded to Public Works or an appropriate committee for traffic engineering review, site study, and cost estimates if trustees direct staff to pursue options at a subsequent meeting.
