1. 24-0179 Consideration of request from Engineering Division to prohibit truck traffic on Swan Boulevard from Watertown Plank Road to Menomonee River Parkway
I support this change to limit collisions at the train bridge, because it would lead to a potential disaster for the train crossing if the bridge lost structural integrity.
My comment is that it would make more sense to close the northern boundary at North Ave, not Menomonee River Parkway. For the case of trucks heading southbound on Swan Blvd, it is a much more flexible point to change routes at North Ave, with a newly widened and constructed road with easy access to downtown, Mayfair road, I-41, and WI-175.
