Request for Curve Warning Sign on Shady Lane and Forest Drive
Alderperson Borgman began stating vision in this area has been an issue for approximately
five years. Speed bumps were placed in the area to slow down motorists, but are not longer
present. A Children Present Caution sign is also present. Director Kroeger stated the Police
Dept. has not had any accidents in the last 10 years. Alderperson Borgman asked the other
Committee members for ideas or suggestions other than requesting another sign for the area.
It was suggested that the trees are trimmed throughout the curve. First it must be determined
which are City trees, if any, and Alderperson Borgman will talk to the homeowner(s) involved
about cutting back the large, mature trees to open up the vision area.
The Committee put this item on hold until the September meeting.
Request for Crosswalk Pavement Markings at the Intersection of McShane Drive and
Cheviot Road.
Mr. Hojnacki presented photos and handouts to the Committee members with his concerns of
accidents, near misses, spin outs, bikers, walkers, speed and parked cars at this intersection.
Alderperson Madden wants the Police Dept. input on the idea of a crosswalk marker. She
does not believe it will slow down cars. She thinks a traffic study would be a better place to
start.
The Committee put this item on hold until the September meeting.
NEW BUSINESS PLACED ON FILE
(The following items have been placed on file for staff review. Upon completion of review, staff
will submit a supplement detailing options and possible course of action to committee
members.)

Engineering progress. Director Kroeger stated that a Public Information Meeting would likely

Director Kroeger stated he would talk to Adam and DPW regarding the process.

Staff Report to Public Works and Safety Committee
To: Public Work and Safety Committee
From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director
Subject: Request for Curve Warning Sign on Shady Lane Drive/ Forest Drive
Date: August 20, 2018
The City of Muskego Public Work and Safety Committee has received a request to install a
“Curve” warning sign on Shady Lane Drive/Forest Drive. An aerial photo of the road has
been inserted as a reference.
Recommendation for Action by the Committee:
From an engineering standpoint here are my findings:
1. Police have indicated that there has not been an accident in the last 10 years on this
street. (information provided by City of Muskego Police)
2. The road has a speed limit of 25 mph. The street is located in a neighborhood and
not designed to be a through street which means very little traffic is on the road.

Packet Page 5
Additionally, there are “Slow Children” warning signs located at the curve in both
directions to help reduce traffic speed.
3. According to MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and
Highways) Chapter 2C – Warning Signs. Section 2C.02 Warning Signs = “The use
of warning signs should be kept to a minimum as the unnecessary use of warning
signs tends to breed disrespect for all signs.”
The committee should listen to all statements and make a decision on this manner.

Staff Report to Public Works and Safety Committee
To: Public Work and Safety Committee
From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director
Subject: Drainage Forest Glen Subdivision
Date: September 17, 2018
The Forest Glen Subdivision HOA president, Aldermen Borgman, Dan Flamini and Scott
Kroeger met on July 16, 2018 to discuss drainage concerns between lots 20 and 21 and
behind lot 18. The Forest Glen Subdivision was built in 2004. In addition, Dan and Scott
have visited the site several times to check out concerns and to follow up even before this
meeting.
I have attached a grading plan of the subdivision to indicate the area. I have also attached
some storm water management report background as well.
The ditch areas in question do fill up with water and do have standing water during storm
events. The ditches are working well and convey the overland flow of water to the street.
In all cases after a couple of days or a week depending on the storm event there is no
standing water between lots 20 and 21.
During our meeting we discussed the potential of removing trees behind lots 18, 19 and 21
and doing some grading work to help alleviate some drainage concerns. The initial design
of the subdivision was to preserve these trees which allowed for very little grading work in
this area. The HOA needs to give approval for any tree over 3 inches in diameter to be
removed before a home owner can remove the tree.
Recommendation for Action by the Committee:
In order to alleviate some drainage concerns, the homeowners and HOA should start by
working together and make improvements in grading their yards with the possibility of
removing some trees as well.
The committee should listen to all opinions and make a decision on this manner.

Staff Report to Public Works and Safety Committee
To: Public Work and Safety Committee
From: Scott Kroeger, PE, PLS, Public Works and Development Director
Subject: Watermain Assessments
Date: September 17, 2018
The City of Muskego took over four private water services built in the middle or late 1970s.
The areas of concerns include Lake Lore (2000s), Lake Brittany (2000s), Guersey Meadows
(1980s), and Kristin Downs (1990s) subdivisions. The City of Muskego did not charge a
hook up fee or charge to put these homes in the WCA (Water Capacity Assessment).
These systems are made out of ductile iron and have reached their life expectancy. These
areas have consistently been the City of Muskego’s highest areas of water main repairs.
The estimated cost to design and construct brand new watermains for these 4 areas is
approximately $8.5 million.
The watermain will not be replaced until they are in the area of the road program. The
City of Muskego will continue to make repairs as needed.
For the Baylane road project we have a small portion of watermain (approximately 1,000
feet) to be replaced. Since we are digging up Baylane road for this project this is the time to
do this work. Therefore, the City of Muskego needs to put a policy in place on how to
handle these costs so we are consistent moving forward.
Recommendation for Action by the Committee:
I am looking for a policy recommendation from the Committee.
