For Information on Absentee balloting for the Spring Primary, February 16th, 2010 please go here.

In a continuing effort to reduce traffic delay at the intersection of Greenway Blvd. and N. High Point Rd., the Wisconsin Department of Transportation is considering removal of the traffic signal and providing instead two-way stop control for northbound and southbound approaching traffic only. Eastbound traffic approaching the intersection from Greenway Blvd. will not stop.

Prior to implementing this change on a permanent basis, there will be a three month trial period. Travelers that use the intersection are encouraged to provide input to the City of their observations and experiences from this trial period. Please contact Shawn Stauske of the City (827-1081 sstauske@ci.middleton.wi.us), or Dena Dramm of WisDOT (246-5360 dena.dramm@dot.wi.gov). Comments will be collated for discussion by WisDOT and the City of Middleton in evaluating the trial stop control. On February 4, signs were installed at the intersection to notify travelers that the signal is being considered for removal. Weather dependent, the two-way stop control will be established on February 18.

The City of Middleton Would Like Your Input - After several public requests at City Council in response to the 2008 fatal dog attack, the City of Middleton is investigating the option for a small dog area within the Metropolitan Community Dog Park. Please go here for more information and to provide your input.
