Traffic Signal at Northport Drive & School Road Intersection

The City of Madison has approved installing a traffic signal at the Northport Drive & School Road intersection after a study started in the Fall of 2021, completed the Winter of 2022 and approval by the Transportation Commission on 2/18/2022. Based on this study, the intersection was found by City of Madison staff to meet two of the nine traffic signal warrants. In the fall of 2022, City of Madison staff submitted a request to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for their approval of a City of Madison installed and operated traffic signal.

On January 4, 2023, a resolution will be brought to the Board of Public Works to approve the declaration of a traffic signal assessment district. This will begin a several month process in which the preliminary estimate & assessment, plans and specs, and to project bids will be brought before the Board of Pubilc Works and Common Council.

The targeted installation date, subject to WisDOT approval, will be the summer of 2023 in preparation for the '23-'24 school year.
