The common council delayed the approval of a resolution that would have allowed stop signs to be installed on either side of Madison Avenue at the request of Public Works Director Mark Langer.
To make the intersection a four-way stop, the city must gain approval from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation first. Langer has been in communication on the final steps of the process for potential approval, he said. Langer told 免费看操逼视频的软件 Tuesday that he expects the DOT鈥檚 decision of the potential approval this week.
With delaying the approval, only northbound and southbound traffic have stop signs.
