# Traffic Safety

The Waupaca County Traffic Safety Commission met October 8, 2026, to review road projects, traffic safety data, and enforcement activities. County Highway E is receiving a pulverized-and-repaved surface after the Highway Committee approved adding the work; the county also planned to repurchase surplus land along the highway because driveway access at the location would be unsafe. Updates covered ongoing or recently completed state and county highway work, including Highway 10, 45, 22, 49, and 54 projects and the Manawa rodeo grounds bridge replacement, which was expected to reopen around October 30. No contract awards, bid approvals, vendor selections, or project dollar amounts were reported.

The commission discussed a potential all-way stop study for Highway 22 and Q, speed-zone reviews, local crash statistics, and use of Community Maps crash and citation data to guide enforcement. State traffic-safety grant activity was closing out for 2026; staff were awaiting permission to apply for 2027 and noted that reimbursements were still being processed. A planned October 20 enforcement detail and possible future training on commercial vehicle inspections were also discussed. No spending-related vote or procurement action was recorded in the available transcript.
