The Story
Two Rivers has been tracking aging traffic-signal controllers since 2025, and then the May 17 wind storm added new damage to traffic signals and sidewalks. DPW estimated 30–50 sidewalk panels may need replacement (about $20,000+), and warned storm cleanup could squeeze other planned work this year.
Record
-
The city’s signal vendor (TAPCO) inspected traffic signal controllers and reported that some controllers are outdated and should be upgraded in the future.
Public Works Committee -
Staff said they plan to talk with TAPCO about interim repairs and longer-term replacement projects for the traffic signals.
Public Works Committee -
DPW reported the May 17 wind storm response included 360+ loads of brush and that the storm caused damage to sidewalks and traffic signals.
Public Works Committee -
Staff estimated that 30–50 sidewalk panels may need replacement at about $400 each, for a total estimate of $20,000+.
Public Works Committee -
Staff said storm work will likely reduce this year’s colored-concrete crosswalks from two to one and delay other planned projects, including City Hall parking deck repair/replacement.
Public Works Committee -
DPW flagged potential budget pressure on the Solid Waste Utility and said they may shorten leaf collection by 2–3 weeks to help offset costs.
