Traffic Safety Commission - April 27, 2026

The City of West Bend Traffic Safety Commission held a meeting on April 27, 2026, focusing primarily on traffic safety improvements and parking regulations. Key procurement-related discussions included a $25,000 estimate for implementing protected permitted phasing at the Maine and Barton Avenue intersection to reduce crashes, though funding for this was not currently budgeted. The commission recommended continuing to study this intersection and consider alternatives in coordination with a future Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) project planned for 2031. Additional agenda items involved recommendations to remove or restrict parking at various intersections to improve sight distances and traffic flow, with some parking modifications approved and noted as absorbable within existing budgets. The commission also approved stop sign installations at new subdivision phases to ensure consistent traffic control. Motions related to these recommendations were passed, emphasizing safety improvements while balancing budget constraints and community concerns.
