Traffic, Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission - Oct 19, 2026
Neighbors on the long dead-end Kurtz Avenue, near a high school and middle school, say drivers speed down the straight stretch like a racetrack. The city needs a resident petition before studying fixes like speed humps or feedback signs.

Traffic, Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission - Sep 21, 2026
Green Bay's 2007 traffic calming policy has never resulted in a single physical installation. A report by Commissioner Jesse Wellens proposes Milwaukee-style fixes: volume-based street criteria instead of hard arterial/bus-route bans, temporary installations, curbing the fire department's veto, and letting neighborhoods pay for projects via assessment. Staff will study and report back, possibly by October 19.
Traffic, Bicycle & Pedestrian Commission - Aug 17, 2026
Eastman Avenue between Henry and Newtols Streets has a documented speeding problem — 15% of drivers were clocked at 33 mph in a 25 mph zone — and residents petitioned for traffic calming last year. The commission sent the request to staff for a formal speed study.
Common Council - Jul 7, 2026
All-way stops are coming to Dousman/Oneida and Dousman/North Taylor, right-turn-on-red rules change on West Mason, and two Hinkfuss traffic-safety studies were sent back to committee for more work.
