Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Green Bay public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Better communication on construction projects
Ald. Delie's push for the city to improve how it tells residents about upcoming and ongoing construction projects was referred to staff for review.
'No Outlet' sign on Northway Drive
Northway Drive loops confusingly into Highland View Lane, and drivers don't realize the northern leg dead-ends. A permanent "No Outlet" sign was approved just north of Sitka Street.
Partial closure of 700 block of Weise Street
The city's Public Works Department requested and received approval to close part of the 700 block of Weise Street.
Weise Street railroad crossing closure
After railroad-safety orders, Public Works will close part of the 700 block of Weise Street. Businesses have alternate routes; the railroad will build the permanent closure.
Traffic control at Buckthorn Trail and Crestwood Springs Drive
A request to add traffic control at this T-intersection was received and filed after a consultant found no crashes there and no cut-through risk, so no stop or yield signs are coming.
Lambeau Field public vehicle restrictions
A police-requested ordinance amendment would keep taxis and other city-licensed public vehicles out of Lambeau Field parking lots during pro and college games, to manage traffic flow. Ride-shares like Uber can't be regulated under state law.
Neighborhood parking changes made permanent
The Emilie Street 900 block moves from permit-only to 4-hour weekday parking, the 2-hour limits on Hubbard Street are gone, and Washington Street's overnight and loading rules were adjusted. All were trial-period changes that stuck.
School-zone parking restrictions removed
Parking restrictions next to Elmore Elementary (615 Ethel Avenue) and MacArthur Elementary (1331 Hobart Drive) will be removed, changing where parents and neighbors can park near both schools.
School-zone parking restriction changes
Parking restrictions next to Elmore Elementary (615 Ethel Avenue) and MacArthur Elementary (1331 Hobart Drive) are being removed at the Traffic Engineer's request, changing curbside parking availability near both schools.
New parking and loading-zone restrictions near businesses
New parking restrictions take effect on the West Mason Street frontage road (for Chili's) and Liberty Street west of Ridge Road, and a bus loading zone is added on Saint Anthony Drive for Freedom House Ministries.
Washington Street overnight "No Stopping or Standing" restriction
Ald. Johnson wants the 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. no-stopping rule on Washington Street removed or modified. The commission held the item until its March 16 meeting, so the decision is still up in the air.
Hubbard Street 2-hour parking restrictions
The 2-hour parking limits on the 800 block of Hubbard Street will be suspended for 90 days. Residents had been getting tickets even as the school parking overflow that prompted the rule has disappeared.
90-day trial traffic changes on West Mason and Broadway
Right-on-red rules at West Mason/Packerland and West Mason/Hinkle get 90-day trials, along with parking changes on South Broadway and Emilie Street.
Emilie Street permit parking change
The 900 block of Emilie Street drops residential permit parking for 4-hour parking on a trial, reflecting reduced hospital parking pressure.
