From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director
Subject: Request for Crosswalk Pavement Markings at Tess Corners Drive and Gaulke
Drive
Date: August 19, 2019
The City of Muskego Public Work and Safety Committee has received a request for
Crosswalk Pavement Markings at the intersection of Tess Corners Drive and Gaulke Drive
(south location). Tess Corners Drive has a speed limit of 35 mph and is classified as an
arterial road by Waukesha County. There are no plans to drop the speed limit along Tess
Corners Drive. Below are several photos of the existing intersection.

Propose Crosswalk Gaulke Drive
I have not obtained a cost estimate for a proposed crosswalk at Gaulke Drive.
Crash Data
In the last 5 years the Police had one reportable accident in the area of Tess Corners Drive
and Cornell intersection.
Gaulke Drive
Gaulke Drive is a loop road with both entrances off of Tess Corners Drive. It is not a
thoroughfare street. Approximately, there are about 17 residential homes located along
Gaulke Drive. Since this is not a thoroughfare street the number of people using this
proposed crosswalk is limited.
