Platteville — The Platteville Common Council on June 9 approved multiple action items related to public safety, planning and economic development.
The council approved Ordinance 26-06, amending the official traffic map to restrict parking around the new fire station at 100 West Adams to allow fire apparatus to exit and return safely. Staff described three primary no-parking areas on West Adams and West Lewis and noted the ordinance would also reinstate a no-parking area on North Court Street; the ordinance listed an effective date of Sept. 8. The motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members present voting yes.
The council also approved Ordinance 26-07, which repeals no-parking restrictions in front of the old fire station on East Main Street once apparatus are relocated. Council members discussed whether the effective date needed to be conditional on the actual move; staff noted the police chief has authority to enact temporary restrictions if movement is delayed. That ordinance also passed on a unanimous recorded vote among members present.
On economic development, the council authorized hiring Ellers Associates for $17,000 and Delta 3 Engineering for $6,080 to prepare the project plan for a proposed Tax Increment District No. 10, intended primarily to finance streets and utilities for the Trail View development. Staff said the target is to submit the project plan to the state by Sept. 30 so the base values reflect January of this year; council approved moving forward with the hires on a unanimous vote.
Separately, the council adopted the 2026–2030 strategic plan as presented by the Southwestern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission. The plan was adopted by motion and recorded unanimous support among members present.
