Public Works reviews accident history at CTH W & CTH T and recommends signage; speed‑limit ordinance language flagged after Fredonia expansion
Summary
Public Works Director Edgren reviewed accident history at CTH W & CTH T and recommended installing a “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” sign and replacing a deteriorated westbound sign; Edgren also said the Village of Fredonia extended a 25 MPH zone about 1/4 mile west along CTH A/H, prompting consideration of revisions to the county Traffic Rules & Regulations in the Code of Ordinances.
Public Works Director Edgren briefed the committee on traffic volume, prior reconstruction and accident history dating from 2017 to present at the CTH W & CTH T intersection. Staff recommended installing an eastbound “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” sign and replacing a deteriorated westbound sign; Edgren said a WisDOT grant would normally be pursued for major improvements but staff believe the county’s chance of receiving such a grant is limited.
On CTH A/H (Fredonia Avenue), Edgren reported that the Village of Fredonia moved its signage and effectively extended a 25 MPH zone about one‑quarter mile farther west. That change no longer aligns with the county’s measurement‑based 45 MPH designation west of the village and the committee reviewed options; Edgren recommended revising the Traffic Rules & Regulations language in the Code of Ordinances to reflect the village expansion. Committee members also requested that Finance Director McMahon attend a future meeting once 2024 year‑end financials are finalized to discuss long‑term highway project planning and a five‑year financial history.
