A public information meeting will be held later this month to gather input for a plan that
Kenosha County is creating with the goal of eliminating serious crashes on county roadways.
Kenosha County was awarded a federal grant to develop a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan,
which will highlight hotspots with safety concerns, prioritize the concerns, and provide guidance
on how to mitigate these issues with the goal of zero deaths and serious injuries on county
highways.
A Comprehensive Safety Action Plan Committee made up of representatives of the county and
all of its municipalities has been meeting since early this year, working to develop the plan.
The group’s initial findings will be presented at the public information meeting to be held from 5
to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 16, at the Pleasant Prairie RecPlex, 9900 Terwall Terrace.
“The committee looks forward to sharing its findings with the public and gathering further input
to inform the process,” said Kenosha County Executive Samantha Kerkman.
Members of the public are invited to view the draft exhibits and share their own feedback about
traffic safety concerns and hotspots on county trunk highways.
A second public information meeting will be held at the Kenosha County Center in Bristol from
5 to 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 26, after the plan has moved into final draft form.
Kenosha County has contracted with the planning and engineering firm Short Elliott
Hendrickson Inc. to conduct the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan study. People who have
questions or feedback and are unable to attend the upcoming public information meeting are
invited to contact Darren Fortney, Senior Principal at Short Elliott Hendrickson, at 608-620-6191
or dfortney@sehinc.com.
