Village to seek traffic study after school pickup concerns at McKinley and Prospect
Summary
Administrator Nick Leonard said village staff met with the school district about congestion and safety at McKinley Street and Prospect Avenue and the board authorized adding a $50,000 placeholder on the SLFRF project list to pursue consultant work and proposals for a traffic study.
Village staff told the Board of Trustees on Jan. 16 that they are pursuing a targeted traffic study of Prospect Avenue and the McKinley Street intersection after operational and safety concerns were raised for school pickup and drop-off.
Administrator Nick Leonard said staff had met with representatives of the North Fond du Lac School District to discuss pickup/drop-off logistics and traffic flows and that the village is seeking proposals for a traffic study focused on Prospect Avenue. Leonard said staff added a $50,000 placeholder to the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) project list to hold funds for a consultant related to that work.
Leonard said staff will return to the board with proposals and findings from any study and with recommended changes to operations or roadway configuration if warranted.
Next steps: staff will solicit and review traffic‑study proposals and report results to the board; funding for consultant work is tentatively allocated through a $50,000 SLFRF placeholder noted in the meeting materials.
