West Allis Common Council members approved a resolution to contract with TAPCO to install two rectangular rapid‑flashing beacon systems along West Greenfield Avenue at the South 80th Street and South 90th Street intersections for an amount not to exceed $24,000.
The item was introduced during the Public Works portion of the meeting. Belinda, a staff member, told the committee the vendor was offering a favorable price because crews already working on nearby traffic work on Greenfield Avenue could showcase the RRFBs. “We’re getting a good deal on it,” Belinda said, adding the locations were selected because “we know that both have been issues.”
A council member moved to approve the resolution; a second was recorded and the action passed on a voice vote. The resolution authorizes the contract; the staff presentation said the work would be coordinated with ongoing traffic work on Greenfield Avenue.
The project is intended to improve pedestrian safety at the two crossings named in the resolution. The contract limit is $24,000; no additional funding breakdown or installation schedule was specified at the meeting.
