Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Green Bay public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Finger Road culvert replacement
Public Works wants to hire McMahon Associates for $111,919.50 to design a replacement of the aging Finger Road culvert, a piece of road infrastructure drivers rely on.
STH 32 and 9th Street project plat
A vacant narrow lot at 804 Ninth Street is slated for a new single-family home, but the existing house at 802 Ninth depends on alley access that crosses the 804 parcel. The variance lets both properties have their own driveway entrances, with a recorded shared easement protecting access.
Mather Street pavement project land acquisition
The Mather Street rebuild includes new sidewalks and ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps from Locust to Grey, which required buying or renting property rights from fronting owners. The committee approved the payments, mostly $200 to $900 per parcel.
Kurtz Avenue speeding near Joannes Park
Alders report drivers treat the long dead-end street like a racetrack near schools and the stadium. Traffic calming can't be studied until residents file a petition signed by at least 20% of neighbors.
Pedestrian safety at Doty and South Van Buren
Ald. Proffitt wants enhanced safety measures at this intersection, but technical problems kept her constituent from speaking, so the item waits until November.
Traffic calming on Eastman Avenue
Residents of nearby apartment complexes asked for a review of whether sidewalks are needed on Eastman Avenue. The committee referred the question (PC-26-11) to city staff for study.
