Appearances Monona Resident - 4205 Winnequah Road appeared before the committee regarding perceived speed of traffic on Winnequah Road and would like the City to begin evaluating installation of sidewalks, dedicated bicycle lanes, and other traffic calming measures to help control speeds. A letter was submitted and shared with committee members. Unfinished Business There was no Unfinished Business. New Business 6.A. Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance establishing no standing, stopping, or parking from 7:30am – 4:30pm on school days along the southbound lane of McKenna Road between Nichols Road and Maywood Road to accommodate on- street pedestrian walking lane. Director Stephany provided a summary for this request. A resident of McKenna Road reached out to the City to ask about having a painted pedestrian lane in the street similar to Schluter Road, Maywood Road and Greenway Road. There are young children that live in the block from Nichols Road to Maywood Road that would be safer walking on the street that has a marked pedestrian lane. Director Stephany explained the pavement marking for the pedestrian lane along the southbound curb and would be 4' wide with a pedestrian symbol painted in the lane. No parking signs would need to be installed as well. The signs would state No Standing, Stopping or Parking from 7:30am - 4:30pm on school days. The time frame matches the same time frame on existing signs installed in 2008. Motion by Boyer, seconded by Busse to Approve. Motion Passed. 6.B. Discussion and Consideration of Ordinance amending existing parking restrictions on Schluter Road, Maywood Road, and Greenway Road. Director Stephany introduced this topic and provided a summary of the request. At the request of Monona PD, the existing No Parking signs for the street pedestrian lanes on Greenway Rd, Schluter Rd, and Maywood Rd should be amended to include No Parking, Standing or Stopping instead of just No Parking. The current signs do not prevent motorists from stopping and waiting in the pedestrian lane during school drop off and pick up times. The wording on the amended signs should read No Standing, Stopping or Parking 7:30am - 4:30pm on School Days. Motion by Stenzel, seconded by Busse to Approve. Motion Passed. 6.C. Discussion and Consideration of staff and citizens request to pavement mark an on-street pedestrian walking lane on McKenna Road from Nichols Road to Maywood Road. Director Stephany explained the map that was provided in the packet for committee review, showing the area streets that had on-street pedestrian lanes marked in 2008. The map also shows the section of McKenna Road that would receive the on-street pedestrian lane. Motion by Busse, seconded by Boyer to Approve. Motion Passed. 6.D. Discussion and Consideration of the draft 2027 Capital Budget. Director Stephany presented the draft capital budget for 2027 that was included in the packet for review. Information on each project and piece of equipment was discussed. The goal of the Mayor is to keep the final capital budget for general obligation note- funded items to $2.5 million. Director Stephany informed the committee that after the Mayor completes her review of the entire capital budget that cuts will be made accordingly and in the best interest of the City prior to being submitted to City Council for consideration. For capital budget project requests that include multi-year funding, Mr. Boyer asked if the draft budget could show the amount that was approved for the previous phase of the project, in addition to the funding requested for the next year. When the project reaches the construction phase of the capital budget request, the draft budget should show the total amount invested in the project. Director Stephany stated he would pass this along to the finance director. Motion by Busse, seconded by Kuhr to Approve. Motion Passed. Reports (Information Only, No Discussion or Action) 7.A.
