8. Topic: Resolution 4049(37) to vacate a portion of Wegge Road lying east of Milwaukee Avenue for the reversion of title to such land to the abutting property owner, to name a newly constructed right-of-way north of the vacated Wegge Road, to rename Wegge Road lying west of Milwaukee Avenue, and to amend the official map of the City to show the same. Pursuant to State Statutes, this item is placed on tonight’s Council agenda to formally introduce the proposed R-O-W vacation; no action is requested by the Council.

Presenter: David Torgler

Purpose: Several years ago the City worked with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the abutting property owners to remove a traffic bottleneck on Milwaukee Avenue. As part of that project formerly required roadway, commonly known as Wegge Road, was determined to be excess right of way and the City has worked with the owners of the abutting property to lawfully abandon the road. The last remaining obstacle is for the property owner(s) to provide access to a public road via a lot line adjustment for each parcel that might not directly abut a public roadway. Adoption of this resolution should complete this portion of the overall capital improvement project and right-of-way abandonment.
