Aulik, City Administrator Phone: (608) 848-9942 Email: jaulik@veronawi.gov MEMORANDUM To: Public Works, Water and Sewer Committee and Verona Common Council From: Jamie J. Aulik, City Administrator Bryan Manning, Public Works Director Date: October 7, 2026 Re: Request to Reconsider April 27, 2026 Council Action Related to South Main Street Background The Common Council previously considered an appeal of the Traffic Safety Committee’s (the Traffic Safety Committee or TSC is a multi-discipline technical committee comprised of AECOM Traffic Engineers, Public Works Director, Assistant, and Construction Engineers, Planning, Police, and Administration) decision regarding pedestrian and bicycle safety on the eastern side of South Main Street between the Badger Mill Creek bridge and Melody Lane. The original request was brought forward because this segment of South Main Street does not have a sidewalk or designated pedestrian/bicycle facility on the east side of the roadway. The roadway also includes a hill and curve between Locust Street and Melody Lane, creating limited sight distance. These conditions are particularly concerning for residents, including children, who may walk or bicycle to school, Fireman’s Park, and other destinations. The TSC previously considered the request and denied it. The TSC’s decision was based primarily on the fact that the proposed improvements would require capital expenditures that were not included in the current budget and that infrastructure investments of this nature should generally be evaluated through the City’s normal capital planning and budget prioritization process. The matter was subsequently appealed to the Public Works, Sewer and Water Committee on April 27, 2026. At their meeting, they contemplated investigating a striped bike lane with temporary delineator posts. The Common Council later voted to overturn the TSC decision and directed that a painted bike lane be installed on the east side of South Main Street between the Badger Mill Creek Bridge and Melody Lane. Staff’s Current Concern To be clear, Staff does not believe the current configuration of this area is an adequate long- term solution and the TSC members remain concerned about pedestrian and bicycle safety in this area. However, after further consideration of the proposed configuration, Staff do not believe that placing pedestrians and bicyclists within the existing roadway, separated from moving vehicles primarily by paint and temporary delineator posts, is a sufficiently safe solution for this particular location. Staff’s concern is that the proposed interim solution may create a false sense of security while placing pedestrians and bicyclists immediately adjacent to moving traffic in a location with known visibility limitations. Delineator posts provide visual separation, but they are not a substantial physical barrier between a pedestrian and a motor vehicle. In this location, staff does not believe that distinction should be minimized. The physical characteristics of South Main Street are also important. This is an older roadway that was not designed around today’s expectations for pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The relevant portion of the roadway includes a curve and hill that limit visibility. Rather than providing a separated sidewalk, trail, or other dedicated facility, the proposed approach would essentially repurpose a portion of the existing roadway and place pedestrians and bicyclists immediately adjacent to moving traffic. There is also a practical concern with the proposed use of temporary delineators. Delineators are considered break away barriers meaning that a vehicle can drive through and over them instead of bouncing back such as a guard rail or a sidewalk curb. The temporary delineators' posts would need to be removed for winter operations. Consequently, the proposed solution would not actually provide consistent protection throughout the year. The City would effectively be establishing a pedestrian facility that changes substantially depending upon the season. The Existing Roadway Is the Problem Staff recognize the frustration with the current configuration and understand the desire to provide an immediate solution. The City should not dismiss the legitimate concern simply because the roadway was constructed many years ago under different standards and expectations. At the same time, we should be careful not to confuse doing something with doing something safe. The absence of a sidewalk or dedicated pedestrian facility is a deficiency in the existing roadway. That deficiency does not necessarily mean that converting a portion of the roadway into a pedestrian facility is the appropriate interim solution. In our view, the better approach is to acknowledge that this portion of South Main Street presents a difficult infrastructure problem, note it, and in the longer term, when major road maintenance occurs on that section of South Main Street pursue a solution that provides pedestrians with meaningful separation from moving traffic. Staff Recommendation Staff recommend that the Common Council reconsider its April 27, 2026 action and not proceed with installation of the proposed painted bike lane/delineator configuration.
