The City of Waukesha's Building and Grounds meeting on June 30, 2025, addressed several key issues regarding local infrastructure and safety measures. The meeting began with discussions focused on budget constraints and the need for immediate action to enhance traffic safety.

One of the primary topics was the proposal for a roundabout, which was deemed necessary for improving traffic flow and safety. However, concerns were raised about the lack of available funding, with officials noting that the city does not have the $2 million required for such a project. Additionally, there is only $5,000 allocated in the current budget for immediate safety measures.

Alderman Paul Wetesca from District 9 suggested a short-term solution involving the installation of highly visible signage. He proposed using bright orange signs to draw attention to stop signs, citing their effectiveness in other areas. Wetesca emphasized that these signs could be seen from a distance, potentially improving driver awareness and safety at critical intersections.

The discussion also touched on the challenges of addressing reckless driving behavior, with Wetesca acknowledging that no amount of signage could prevent all accidents, particularly those involving impaired drivers.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the need to prioritize traffic safety while recognizing the limitations imposed by the current budget. Further discussions on long-term planning for infrastructure improvements are expected in future meetings.
