There was a general discussion regarding the traffic safety concerns raised by Joe Szpak, 475 Cledell Street. The written request has been included in the meeting packet of information. Brook Street / Spring Street Intersection Szpak suggests converting the intersection to a four-way stop and modifying the on-street parking configuration near the fire station to improve safety, traffic flow and visibility. Chief Pagenkopf suggested obtaining input from Fire Chief Linzmeier regarding the proposed stop sign configuration and parking modifications at the Brook Street and Spring Street intersection, given the potential impact on emergency vehicle operations. North Perry Parkway / Jaycee Community Park Parking Lot Access Point The Committee also discussed concerns about parking along the west side of North Perry Parkway near the entrance to the Jaycee Community Park parking lot. During periods of high activity, such as athletic events, vehicles parked along North Perry Parkway may restrict sightlines for motorists exiting the parking lot near the pickleball courts . The limited visibility, combined with increased pedestrian activity, including children crossing the roadway, was noted as a potential safety concern. Szpak suggests implementing no-parking on the west side of North Perry Parkwaynear the Jaycee Community Park parking lot access point to improve visibility for drivers and enhance safety for both motorists and pedestrians. Chief Pagenkopf indicated that the Police Department would monitor parking conditions on North Perry Parkway and provide an update to the Committee at a future meeting. There was mention of the “Slow Down” yard signs displayed in many residential neighborhoods and whether they could help raise awareness of speeding concerns in the area identified during public comment. Chief Pagenkopf noted that the signs are available free of charge through the Oregon Police Department as part of a partnership with Safe Communities, a Dane County traffic safety organization. She indicated that information about the program will be shared on social media to remind residents of this available traffic safety resource. 6) Future Agenda Items. Crosswalk consideration on Foxfield Road. 7) Adjournment. The Public Safety Committee adjourned at 6:26 p.m. on Monday, July 27, 2026. Page 4 of 4 Submitted by, Candie M.

The Public Safety Committee (the “Committee”) should identify the arrest and conviction history of the applicant being considered. The meeting packet should include the report prepared by the police department. Example: “Jane Doe has two prior convictions for operating while intoxicated. She received her first conviction on January 17, 20XX, and her second conviction on May 2, 20XX.” 2. The Committee may request that the police department provide additional details, if any, relating to the circumstances of any offense. The police department might not have additional information if they were not involved with the arrest. 3. The Committee may request that the applicant provide additional details relating to the circumstances of any offense, including any relevant mitigating circumstances. 4. Following the discussion about the applicant’s arrest and conviction history, the Committee must determine whether any offense is substantially related to the licensed activity. The Committee may choose to address offenses separately or together, as long as the Committee identifies how the circumstances of each offense relate to the licensed activity. Example: “I move to fi nd that Jane Doe’s second offense of operating while intoxicated is substantially related to the licensed activity because _________________.” 5. If the Committee finds that any offense is substantially related to the licensed activity, the Committee must allow the applicant to present evidence that the applicant is rehabilitated and fit to perform the licensed activity (i.e., serving as a bartender and overseeing others). 6. Following the discussion about whether the applicant is rehabilitated, the Committee must determine whether the applicant has presented competent evidence of sufficient rehabilitation and fitness for each pending charge or prior conviction that the Committee finds is substantially related. If the Committee determines that competent evidence of sufficient rehabilitation and fitness has not been demonstrated for any violation, the Committee shall deny the application for a license. The Committee could choose to address offenses separately or together. Example: “I move to deny Jane Doe’s application for an operator’s license, because she has not demonstrated competent evidence of sufficient rehabilitation and fitness for her second offense of operating while intoxicated.” Page 1 of 2 MEMORANDUM To: Village Board From: Candie Jones, Village Clerk Date: September 28, 2026 Subject: Brook Street / Spring Street Intersection and North Perry Parkway near Jaycee Community Park Parking Lot Background At the July 27, 2026, Public Safety Committee meeting, the Committee discussed a citizen concern regarding traffic safety at the Brook Street / Spring Street intersection and along the west side of North Perry Parkway near the Jaycee Community Park parking lot. The original citizen request is included in the packet for reference. Brook Street / Spring Street Intersection During the discussion, Police Chief Pagenkopf recommended consulting with Fire Chief Linzmeier regarding the Brook Street / Spring Street intersection proposed changes because of the potential impacts on emergency vehicle operations. Since that time , Village Staff ha ve reviewed and discussed the request with Fire Chief Linzmeier . Fire Chief Linzmeier has indicated he is not in favor of adding a stop sign on Spring Street at Brook Street due to visibility concerns past the station in both directions. However, he recommends altering the existing angled parking configuration directly across from the apparatus bays (west side of Spring Street) . Fire Chief Linzmeier will be present at the meeting to provide additional information and respond to any questions from the Committee. North Perry Parkway Parking Modifications Near Jaycee Community Park Parking Lot At the July meeting, Chief Pagenkopf indicated that the Police Department would continue to monitor conditions near the Jaycee Community Park vehicle access point to determine whether parking restrictions in the area would be warranted. Based on observations collected over the past several months, Chief Pagenkopf h as advised that the concerns raised are valid. The Police Department has observed parking patterns that create traffic safety concerns and has recommended establishing a no-parking zone in the area identified in the citizen request. She noted the most significant issues occur during weekends and periods of high park usage, particularly during sporting events. 5 (b) Page 2 of 2 Implementation of any parking restrictions would require an amendment to Section 7.02 of the Village Code of Ordinances. Staff are seeking further direction from the Public Safety Committee. 1 Candie Jones From: Lynn McDaniel Sent: Monday, January 26, 2026 6:07 PM To: Candie Jones Subject: Fw: Safety Concerns and Proposed Traffic Mitigations: Brook St. & N. Perry Pkwy Lynn McDaniel Village Board Trustee www.lynnmcdaniel.com lmcdaniel@vil.oregon.wi.us 608.909.0944 From: Joe szpak Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2026 9:23 PM To: Tim Higgins <thiggins@oregonwi.gov>; Lynn McDaniel <LMcDaniel@oregonwi.gov>; Amanda Peterson <Apeterson@oregonwi.gov> Subject: Safety Concerns and Proposed Traffic Mitigations: Brook St. & N. Perry Pkwy Dear Oregon Public Safety Committee, I am writing to formally report two traffic safety concerns in Oregon where I have observed frequent near- miss accidents. I believe that targeted adjustments to these roadways would significantly improve public safety for drivers and pedestrians alike. 1. Intersection of Brook Street and Spring Street The current three-way stop configuration at this intersection creates a hazardous environment. Drivers turning left from Brook Street onto Spring Street are often unaware that oncoming traffic on Spring Street is not required to stop. This confusion is compounded by vehicles parked along Spring Street, which obstruct the sightlines for those stopped on Brook Street. 2 · Recommendation: Convert this intersection into a four-way stop and implement parking restrictions on Brook Street (specifically across from the fire station) to improve visibility, particularly during school hours. 2. N. Perry Parkway (Adjacent to Jaycee Park) During high-traffic periods, such as high school athletics competitions, heavy parking along N. Perry Parkway dangerously limits the sightlines for drivers exiting the Jaycee Park parking lot (near the pickleball courts). Given the high volume of pedestrians and children crossing the roadway during these times, the current lack of visibility poses a significant risk. · Recommendation: Extend a "No Parking" zone a significant distance from the parking lot entrance to ensure exiting drivers have a clear view of oncoming traffic and pedestrians. I appreciate your department’s dedication to keeping our community safe and would welcome the opportunity to discuss these areas further if needed. Thanks for all you do for Oregon! Best, Joe Szpak 475 Cledell St. Oregon Remove the parking for the area circled in red and add a stop sign on spring St at the red dash mark. Create no parking zone/yellow curb for area in red 3 Page 1 of 1 MEMORANDUM To: Village Board From: Candie Jones, Village Clerk Date: September 28, 2026 Subject: OAFED Request Background Oregon Area Fire and Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Division Chief Casey Jesberger has expressed concerns regarding recurring traffic and on-street parking issues at the intersection of Park Street which he indicates can interfere with emergency vehicle response operations. He noted these concerns are expected to become increasingly significant as activity and traffic volumes increase following the opening of the new Oregon Senior and Community Center. EMS Chief Jesberger noted that the department frequently utilizes Park Street as a primary response route when responding to emergency incidents. To improve access and maneuverability for emergency vehicles, he is requesting that a no -parking zone be established along a portion of the south side of Park Street approaching and through the Waterman Street intersection. Either EMS Chief Jesberger or Fire Chief Linzmeierwill be in attendance to provide additional information regarding these concerns and answer any questions from the Committee. Implementation of any parking restrictions would require an amendment to the Village Code of Ordinances. 5 (c) 1 Candie Jones From: Lynn McDaniel Sent: Saturday, September 5, 2026 7:17 AM To: Candie Jones Subject: Fw: crosswalk/flashing lights Hi Candie!

Thank you so much for reaching out! I appreciate hearing from parents and I am sure your days are incredibly busy so taking the time to send a message to me highlights the importance of this need. I know we have had multiple conversations on the area of Netherwood that you are speaking about. I apologize that there hasn't been enough movement on solutions for this area. I can work to add it to the future public safety meeting to get the conversation back up to the front of people's minds. I am not sure if we will get it on September's meeting but if it's not there, I would imagine we can get it on October. Again, I greatly appreciate your time and I hope we can work on something of a solution for you soon! 2 Lynn McDaniel Village Board Trustee www.lynnmcdaniel.com lmcdaniel@vil.oregon.wi.us 608.909.0944 From: Codie Heidemann Sent: Wednesday, September 2, 2026 11:51 AM To: Lynn McDaniel <LMcDaniel@oregonwi.gov> Cc: Ben Heidemann Subject: crosswalk/flashing lights Hi Lynn, My name is Codie Heidemann and I live at 650 Soden Drive with my husband Ben and our three children. We have been residents of Oregon for seven years now and are blessed with having a great neighborhood and community around us. I’m writing today to start the discussion on adding a crosswalk at our intersection of Soden Drive and East Netherwood Street as well as flashing lights for pedestrians at this proposed intersection or at the intersection of Oak Street and Netherwood. As I am sure you know, Netherwood is a very busy road and many cars travel along it at all times of the day because it is a main thoroughfare. Almost daily, we witness police officers patrolling this stretch of road and pulling drivers over because of their speed. We are within walking distance to Walgreens, the grocery store shopping center and downtown. There are school bus stops located on East Netherwood as well. Every day you see multiple people walking their dogs, walking for exercise or taking their kids on a walk. All of this to say, there is a lot of pedestrian activity right outside of our door! I recently stopped at the police department to pick up "slow down" signs provided by the Safe Communities organization and was able to chat with a police officer about the challenges of Netherwood and she agreed that it is a problematic area for our community. Our children are now in 4th grade, 2nd grade and Kindergarten this year. In years past they would stay in our yard to play, but now that they are getting older they are wanting to expand their play to friends houses and parks beyond our immediate neighbors. So, in addition to all the activity that already exists in our neighborhood, our own children and their friends within the area are wanting the freedom to move safely through their own community. As parents, Netherwood Road is very concerning to us. I have spoken with many other parents in the area and they also agree that this road needs to have more pedestrian safety measures in place. Ben and I would appreciate continuing this conversation with you. Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
