APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A project that would change Appleton’s College Avenue from four lanes to three is moving forward.
The Appleton Municipal Services Committee unanimously approved the College Ave Pilot Program Proposal Monday evening.
The proposal would switch the street to three lanes from Richmond Street to Drew Street. There would be one lane on each side, then a turn lane in the middle.
While engineers say it will create room for bike lanes and improve speed and overall safety, some Appleton residents are against the $130,000 project and worry about congested traffic.
The proposal now moves on to the full common council.
