07/21/2026 - Public Safety and Public Works Committees

The City of West Allis Public Safety and Public Works Committees met on July 21, 2026, to discuss several municipal matters including the official acceptance of a new city park located at 6426 West Greenfield Avenue. The committee approved the ordinance to designate the area as a city park, with maintenance responsibilities assigned to the developer, Union Green, under a contract that transfers with the property. The naming of the park will be addressed at a later date. Additionally, the committees considered an ordinance to convert the 1400 block of South 87th and South 88th streets into one-way streets to improve traffic safety around Wilson School. The plan includes physical improvements such as traffic calming measures and a bus pull-in area, with signage to be installed before the school year starts. The committees discussed the impact on local residents and businesses, emphasizing safety for school children while acknowledging potential challenges for the community. A resolution was also passed to rename a portion of South 60th Street to Dan Hoag Boulevard. The meeting included procedural motions related to operator's license hearings and a recess to accommodate legal counsel presence. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were detailed, but the discussions involved capital improvements and public infrastructure changes with associated budget and operational considerations.
