Oshkosh Transportation Committee 9/8/26

The City of Oshkosh Transportation Committee met on September 8, 2026, to discuss several transportation-related issues including parking restrictions, traffic impact analyses, and pedestrian safety measures. Key procurement-related discussions included a request for no parking on Prairie Court to ensure access for wastewater treatment vehicles, which was ultimately not approved due to concerns about the impact on residents and the belief that emergency access could be managed without parking restrictions. The committee also reviewed a traffic impact analysis for a new middle school at the Shapiro site, focusing on site design, traffic flow, and parking capacity, with recommendations for high-visibility crosswalks to enhance student safety. Additionally, the committee approved removing a 15-minute parking restriction on 16th Avenue west of Oregon Street to improve safety and convenience for local workers. The meeting included public comments and concluded with plans to explore broader pedestrian safety measures such as leading pedestrian intervals in future discussions.
