The City of Waukesha's Building and Grounds meeting on June 30, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, including a proposal for an extension of premises for Crush Wine Bar and a speed study on Kennedy Avenue.
The meeting began with a discussion regarding Crush Wine Bar's request to extend its premises into the parking lot. Questions arose about the existing stage setup and parking arrangements. It was clarified that the stage in question belongs to Crush Wine Bar and does not currently occupy parking spaces. Members noted that the parking lot fills quickly during events like Friday Night Live, but expressed confidence that there is sufficient parking available, particularly in nearby lots. After a brief discussion, a motion to approve the extension was made and seconded, leading to a unanimous vote in favor.
Following this, the meeting transitioned to a speed study conducted on Kennedy Avenue, initiated by Alderman Anderson. Andy provided insights into the data collected earlier in the year, although specific findings from the study were not detailed in the transcript.
Overall, the meeting progressed smoothly, with key decisions made regarding the Crush Wine Bar's request and an informative update on traffic safety measures. Further discussions on the speed study are anticipated in future meetings as the city continues to address community concerns.
