Fenlon, Administrator REPORT DATE: August 8, 2018 EXPLANATION: Last week staff received a complaint (see attached) regarding the parking and stopping of vehicles on CTH N, north of Evergreen Drive. Staff will be meeting late on Monday afternoon to discuss a formal recommendation. Conceivably, staff will be recommending that we discuss with the County the ability to provide signage in this area to correct this issue. This document will be presented to the Village Plan Commission on Monday, August 13th as well for a recommendation to the Village Board. RECOMMENDATION: Discuss and provide a recommendation. From: To: James Fenlon Subject: Semi parking by Simon Cheese Date: Thursday, August 2, 2018 3:12:36 PM This email is being sent to bring a situation to your attention. I believe there is a real safety hazard arising unless something is done. My name is and I purchased the home at about a year ago.   the Simon’s Cheese parking lot. It was about this same time last year that the Nestle’s warehouse opened.   In the past month my husband and I have both noticed the semi-trailers have begun to park in on Freedom Road more and more often, parking on either side of the road.  The shoulder of Freedom Road is not set up for semi parking and therefore it is necessary for them to park into the road. The safety hazard is but also for those leaving Simon’s Cheese as you cannot clearly see around the vehicle.  Eventually someone is going to get hit.  Also, the drivers always keep their trucks running, which is very frustrating to us.  Last night a truck parked on the Simon Cheese side of the road at 9:30 at night and was there for at least 30 minutes.  Hearing the continued rumble of the semi-tractor motor running is quite distracting for us.    There is a truck stop on the other side of Interstate 41 behind the Shell gas station/McDonalds restaurant, but these drivers will not go out of their way to park there. I also believe that unless this situation is handled soon, the drivers are going to use this section for parking more and more often.  The shoulder of Freedom Road in this area is not a truck stop and should not be used as one.         I would appreciate it if you would please contact me regarding this issue and how it might be remedied.       Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: I-41 Improvement Resolution PREPARED BY: James P.

WHEREAS, the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Appleton (Fox Cities) Urbanized Area, and WHEREAS, a recommendation in the required and adopted MPO Long Range Transportation Plan calls for the expansion of Interstate 41, and WHEREAS, portions of Interstate 41 from WIS 26 in Winnebago County to WIS 15 in Outagamie County is already 6-Lane and portions of Interstate 41 in Brown County have been expanded to 6-lanes south to Scheuring Road, and WHEREAS, the 6-lane to 4-lane transitions create dangerous bottlenecks with a high number of serious injury and fatal crashes, and WHEREAS, almost daily crashes are causing significant delay, costly and dangerous clean-up activities for emergency services and County staff, and WHEREAS, the I-41 corridor is an economic engine for the region’s commuting workforce that requires travel time reliability, and WHEREAS, I-41 is designated on the National Primary Freight Network due to the sheer number of trucks that transport products into and out of the region, and WHEREAS, the costs will likely be far higher to not expand the highway based on the safety and economic impacts of crashes and delays, Now Therefore; BE IT RESOLVED BY THE EAST CENTRAL WISCONSIN REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION: SECTION 1. That the Commission request the Wisconsin Department of Transportation plan, design and expand Interstate 41 to 6-lanes between WIS 15 in Outagamie County and Scheuring Road in Brown County as soon as possible. Effective Date: July 27, 2018 Prepared for: Transportation Committee Prepared By: Walt Raith, Assistant Director/MPO Director _____________________________ ______________________________ Neal Strehlow, Chair Ken Robl, Vice Chair ___ Jerry Erdmann David Albrecht ___ Jeff Nooyen Dick Koeppen ___ Ron McDonald Jill Michaelson ___ Martin Farrell Donna Kalata  R E S O L U T I O N N O.: TO THE HONORABLE, THE OUTAGAMIE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: In the 1960’s US-41 was constructed in its current location as a four-lane divided highway between Appleton and DePere. In the 1970’s US-41 in the Appleton area attained freeway status with the removal of all intersecting crossroads. In 1992 US- 41 between Breezewood Ln and CTH OO/STH 15 was upgraded to six lanes. In 2015 US-41 attained official Interstate status in Wisconsin and the speed limit in the Fox Cities area was increased to 70 mph. In 2015/16 Interstate 41 from DePere to Howard was upgraded to six lanes. The current four lane 23 mile segment between CTH OO/STH 15 and Scheuring Rd creates a bottleneck between two six lane segments. I-41 is outdated and doesn’t meet current design standards for the volumes of traffic and a 70 mph speed limit. Average daily traffic in 2015 was 55,600 per day and 63,000 in 2016, which is a yearly increase of 11.7%. There are a high number of crashes that occur daily, which causes significant injuries, fatalities, delays, costly vehicle damage, infrastructure damage, costly and dangerous clean-up activities for emergency, state, county and municipal staff. I-41 is designated on the national Primary Freight Network due to the sheer number of trucks that transport products into and out of the region. I-41 is a crucial commuter route for the much needed Northeast Wisconsin workforce, as well as promoting tourism in the area. The Wisconsin Department of T ransportation (WisDOT) has recognized that the existing facility is failing and have plans to spend $1 million in 2018 to 2021 to design for improvements to five interchanges and $3 million to design surface improvements. It is important to note that construction funding for these design projects has not yet been scheduled. The East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (ECWRPC) is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Fox Cities Urbanized Area and has had the expansion of Interstate 41 recommendation in the required and adopted MPO Long Range Transportation Plan. ECWRPC Transportation Committee has adopted a resolution on July 27, 2018 with the same recommendation described below. Many local municipalities are taking similar action. NOW THEREFORE, the undersigned members of the Highway, Recycling and Solid Waste Committee recommend adoption of the following resolution. BE IT RESOLVED, that the Outagamie County Board of Supervisors does request the Wisconsin Department of Transportation plan, design and expand Interstate 41 to 6-lanes between WIS 15 in Outagamie County and Scheuring Road in Brown County as soon as possible., and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Outagamie County Clerk be directed to forward a copy of this resolution to Governor Scott Walker, WisDOT Secretary of C:\Users\jfenlon\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\Content.Outlook\MP4EKCL8\I 41 Expansion Recommendation.doc.rtf  Transportation David Ross, Outagamie County Highway Commissioner and the Outagamie County Lobbyist for distribution to the Legislature.
