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.
