The Kenosha Public Works Committee convened Monday, October 19, 2026, at 5 p.m. in Room 202 of the Municipal Building to address several important city infrastructure matters. The committee, chaired by Peni Keeling, focused on sidewalk ordering requests, levy assessment resolutions for resurfacing projects, acceptance of recent fire station improvements, and reviewed the status of ongoing city projects.
Among the key agenda items were requests from Alderperson Rollin Pizzala to order sidewalks along 53rd Street from Pershing Boulevard to 47th Avenue, and along 55th Street from 46th Avenue to 47th Avenue. These requests aim to install sidewalks adjacent to seven parcels in District 11 to enhance public health and safety. Staff recommended approval of both requests.
The committee also adopted preliminary resolutions declaring the intent to levy assessments for sidewalks and driveway approaches for two resurfacing projects: 87th Place & 26th Avenue and 25th Avenue from 24th Street to 21st Street. Property owners fronting these streets may pay the assessments in lump sums or three annual installments.
Additionally, the committee accepted completion of Project 25-1576, Fire Station 7 Improvements Phase 2 at 9700 52nd Street, completed by Camosy Construction of Kenosha. The project included painting, ceiling and lighting replacements, HVAC and generator updates, and sprinkler repairs, concluding at a contract amount of $137,983.
A comprehensive Capital Improvement Project status update highlighted progress on multiple roadway, sidewalk, park, and utility works citywide. Notable projects include the near-completion of the 20th Avenue Bike Path Improvements, ongoing reconstruction of 22nd Avenue, Roosevelt Park Sport Court replacement, and significant stormwater infrastructure enhancements.
Public hearings regarding sidewalk orders will take place as required by Wisconsin statutes. The committee also announced a budget and CIP review session scheduled for November 4, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. in the Municipal Building. Citizen comments and alderpersons' remarks were part of the session, with no disability accommodations requested for the meeting.
