2028 Paving Reconstruction of Roosevelt Street (Oneida Street to Morrison Street)
Appleton
Description
Staff brought back a revised design keeping Roosevelt Street at 29 feet wide instead of the previously recommended 26 feet, after the council referred the item back based on resident input and summer parking demand near Herb Park and the pool.
Impact summary
Summer parking near Herb Park stays, drivers get more passing room, but about four terrace trees will likely be removed.

Roosevelt Street 2028 Reconstruction Design
The 2028 plan to narrow Roosevelt Street from Oneida to Morrison drew a 100%-signed neighborhood petition and three speakers citing emergency vehicle access, pool-season parking, and speeding cut-through traffic. The council sent the design back to committee rather than approve it.
Roosevelt Street reconstruction design
The 2028 rebuild of Roosevelt Street was revised to keep the street 29 feet wide instead of 26, preserving summer parking near Herb Park and Pool after neighbors pushed back. The tradeoff is roughly four more trees likely coming down. Alders also discussed possible future traffic-control review at the east end of the street.
