A. Issue
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) will be repaving a portion of Mayfair Road from Congress Street to Fiebrantz Avenue where parking is currently allowed during select hours of the day.
B. Background/Options
Parking is currently restricted on the west side of Mayfair Road from 6-9am and 3-6pm between Congress Street and Fiebrantz Avenue. To maintain the ability to park in that lane, the City would be responsible for 100% of the cost to repave (approximately $72,000 according to WisDOT) and would in turn assess the property owners. If the City no longer wishes to maintain the ability to park along Hwy 100, the cost to repave would be the responsibility of the DOT.
In fall of 2023, staff mailed surveys to the property owners who would be most impacted by the removal of the parking lane to gather their feedback. Twenty-eight property owners were mailed surveys and seven surveys were filled out and returned. Of those seven surveys, six property owners would rather lose the parking lane than be assessed for the cost of the paving.
The Transportation Affairs Committee approved a 90-day trial to prohibit parking from Congress Street to Fiebrantz Avenue in November 2023. The trial has now been successfully completed. Additionally, based on a field review, parking signs show parking prohibited on the west side of Mayfair Road between Capitol Drive and Fiebrantz Avenue and between Congress Street and North City Line, but this is not reflected in existing ordinance. Staff recommends prohibiting parking on the west side of Mayfair Road from Capitol Drive to the North City Limit.
C. Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)
N/A
D. Fiscal Impact
No impact if approved as recommended.
E. Recommendation
Direct staff to prepare an ordinance to prohibit parking on the west side of Mayfair Road from Capitol Drive to the North City Limit following the completion of a 90-day trial.
